AeroSplice wire-to-wire connecting solution from Littelfuse

AeroSplice simplifies the often tedious and error-prone process of manual wire splicing, providing a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use alternative tailored to meet the stringent MIL-SPEC (MIL-DTL-24308) requirements of the aviation and defence industries.

AeroSplice introduces a quick snap-in, snap-off solution that completes wire connections in seconds, eliminating the inefficiencies of traditional manual splicing processes. Unlike conventional methods, which often require extensive quality control and documentation, AeroSplice provides a 100% reliable connection and drastically reduces labour and inspection time, making it the ideal choice for demanding aviation and defence environments where space is limited.
