C&K Components has developed a family of rectangular micro miniature connectors tested in accordance with ESA specifications. Designated the MDMA Series, the connectors are fully interchangeable with ESA Micro D Connectors (ESA ESCC specification 3401-029) and MIL-DTL-83513 products, and feature removable crimp contacts that also meet ESA requirements.

Vishay has announced three new high-precision CECC-qualified Bulk Metal Foil resistors for avionics, military, and space (AMS) applications. The devices feature a low TCR of ± 2 ppm/°C typical from - 55 °C to + 155 °C, + 20 °C ref., tolerances from ± 0.01 %, and a load-life stability of ± 0.005 % (50 ppm) at + 70 °C for 2000 hours at rated power.

Vishay has introduced the E102Z ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal Z-Foil resistor. The new device provides a military-grade absolute TCR of ±0.2 ppm/°C from −55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., a tolerance from ±0.005% (50 ppm), and a load-life stability of ±0.005% (50 ppm) at +70°C for 2000 hours at rated power. The E102Z is built to handle unconventional environmental conditions with minimal drift, making it well suited for military, space,...

International Rectifier lance une famille de MOSFET 100 V hermétiques et durcis aux radiations (RAD-Hard) encapsulés dans un boîtier SMD0.2 compact et de type montage en surface . Ces composants sont destinés aux applications spatiales telles que les alimentations des bus de tensions et des charges embarquées dans les satellites.

The European Columbus laboratory is now in space, and precision resistors from the Isabellenhütte SMx series are on board. It is by no means easy to fulfil the stringent requirements set by aerospace and space organisations. Components must function reliably even when subjected to extreme influences. For example, the SMx series resistors for use in space can endure the vibrations which occur when the shuttle lifts off, remain undamaged in condit...

Agilent has introduced GS-9000 Assisted GPS (A-GPS) Design Verification Test systems designed around the 8960 wireless communications test set's new A-GPS assistance data messaging test capabilities. The capabilities support A-GPS validation, Total Isotropic Sensitivity testing and A-GPS pre-conformance testing for mobile devices. With this introduction, Agilent's 8960 test set offers the industry's best price/performance one-box tester for use i...

Atmel has today unveiled the newest member of the Atmel SPARC V8 processor family and the industry’s first radiation-hardened high-performance aerospace microprocessor that can be reconfigured on-the-fly, the Atmel ATF697FF. The ability to reconfigure on-the-fly allows users to make on-going design modifications to satellites, including specification updates, in-flight adjustments during trial flights and post-launch alterations. The new ATF...

TT electronics OPTEK Technology has earned QML (Qualified Manufacturer List) certification from DSCC (Defense Supply Center – Columbus), re-establishing the company as a US-based supplier of JAN/JANTX semiconductors for high-reliability applications in defense and aerospace electronics systems. The QML certification places the company as one of a few domestic suppliers who can provide JAN/JANTX level, MIL-PRF-19500-certified devices for critic...

Spirent Communications plc today announced that it will demonstrate its new GPS modernization and multi-GNSS product range at ION GNSS 2009. For the first time ever, event attendees will have access to live demonstrations of Spirent’s full range of GPS modernization and multi-GNSS simulators including the GSS8000 Multi-GNSS Simulator, GSS6700 Multi-GNSS Simulation System and GSS6300 Multi-GNSS Signal Generator.

Saft is preparing to fill its next order for lithium-ion (Li-ion) space batteries as part of a five-year Long Term Agreement signed with Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems in 2009. Under the multi-million dollar contract, Saft will deliver 12 battery packs of highenergy Li-ion batteries for Boeing’s 702HP satellites being built for the Inmarsat-5 series. The Saft batteries with VES140S cells will power three new Ka-band satellites, adding to...
