AirBorn SInergy range of hybrid connectors expanded by Molex

Molex expands AirBorn SInergy range of hybrid connectors

According to the company, this represents a 12.5x increase in power capacity for handling increased electrical loads. This is while preserving space in compact system designs for harsh environments, where failure is not an option, it says.

“The rapid evolution of next-generation aerospace and defense systems requires an exponential leap in power delivery,” said Billy Rhea, group product director of Aerospace and Defense Solutions at Molex.

“This latest extension of the proven AirBorn SInergy platform offers our customers accelerated design capabilities by enabling them to mix-and-match high-power, high-speed data and RF contacts for an all-in-one connectivity solution.”

Possible applications include space-constrained aerospace, defense and space uses. For example, aircraft launch systems, advanced radar, avionics, satellites and combat vehicles. Basically, combining high-density signal contacts, supporting up to 25Gbps data rates, and RF contacts.

The company highlights that up to five interchangeable connector bays can be configured with different contact types. This is in any combination of signal, power and RF modules to support application requirements.

“Unlike other hybrid offerings with fixed layouts, SInergy provides true position-by-position configuration flexibility, enabling engineers to place the exact contact type precisely where it is needed,” states the company. “The platform’s small form factor—one-bay connectors are roughly the size of a U.S. quarter—and versatile mounting options optimize mechanical alignment and mating security.”

Building on its AirBorn M Series MIL-DTL-83513 Micro-D Connectors and AirBorn N Series MIL-DTL-32139 Nano-D Connectors, the SInergy portfolio is for designs involving extreme temperature, vibration, shock and moisture.

Specifically, the modules match MIL-DTL-83513 specifications.

Additionally, the new power contacts have been engineered to the MIL-DTL-39029 contact crimp standard to support up to 25.0A. For example, the new SInergy 25.0A power module rates at a strict 30°C temperature rise (T-Rise) baseline over ambient.
