Tekdata Interconnections is pleased to report it has just broken a number of records: not only has the company’s production reached record levels, but in the last five months it has had three of its five best months in terms of order intake. The largest single element in its current production is a range of jet engine and fuel control units.
While Tekdata cannot go into detail because of the commercially sensitive nature of these deals, its order book does build on the company’s broad experience. The company’s breadth of technologies and applications include aero control systems, large numbers of military communications systems, harnesses for advanced missiles, military specification IT racks, harnesses and related equipment for spacecraft, and satellite land systems. In the military sphere, the company also builds equipment for submarines and tanks; and Tekdata also has substantial interests in industrial, medical and transport infrastructure equipment.

More remarkably, the Tekdata order book is with many aero-defence Primes and Tier 1 manufacturers, with leading companies in each of the other industries, and with leading research and development institutions. This gives Tekdata an enviable list of approvals, from NASA and ESA to the Highways Agency.

“All clients benefit from a wide range of interconnection technologies and a deep engineering expertise which enables Tekdata to ‘design out’ connections, cost and weight while ‘designing in’ quality and outstanding performance” said Ernie Edwards, managing director at Tekdata. “Major players also entrust Tekdata with helping them design and develop their most demanding applications right from the start.”

Over the next year Tekdata will be weaving harnesses with cores varying from 44-gauge to 6mm, from single and twisted pairs to multiple strands, optic fibres and even pipes and tubes (hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel etc.). Tekdata will also manufacture exceedingly flexible cables with all the same variety of cores. Finally, Moulding and over-moulding technologies will be used to manufacture backshells, stress reliefs, knee bends, bridging pieces and other features into a cable and harness.
