Connector optimises power handling characteristics for space flight

International manufacturer of components and systems for optical and electrical connectivity, Huber+Suhner, is launching its PSM connector series that optimises size and power handling characteristics for space flight, high-altitude platforms and TVAC environments.

The PSM connector family has the size and weight of an SMA (SubMiniature version A) and the power handling capabilities of a TNC (Threaded Neill–Concelman) per MIL-PRF-39012 and MIL-STD-348, enabling customers to maximise performance on power handling while minimising overall system weight and size.



This series is fully space qualified per MIL-PRF-39012 and ESCC 3402, offering multipaction breakdown and corona-withstanding meeting or exceeding TNC interface level.

The PSM series enables customers to maximise power performance while minimising overall system weight, size and expenditure, obtaining a cost-effective solution that surpasses the current industry standard in terms of features vs cost.

The hermetic, multipaction and corona free design product portfolio includes a variety of cable connectors, flanged / panel mount connectors and adaptors; PSM/PSM, PSM/TNC and PSM/PC3.5, ensuring a compatible solution when incorporating the PSM product range in new and existing systems.

At IMS 2018 the PSM portfolio will be on display featuring connectors for mini141H, SUCOFLEX 329 and semi rigid .141 cables, flanged panel mount surface mount connectors and adaptors within and in between series.

“We are thrilled to present the latest addition to our portfolio at IMS 2018. This year, we are focused on meeting the increasing demand of cost effective solutions for power demanding and weight sensitive applications,” said Ana Maria Grigonis, Product Portfolio Manager at Huber+Suhner.

The PSM connector portfolio, alongside an extensive range of connectivity solutions from Huber+Suhner will be on display IMS 2018, June 10th-15th at the Pennsylvania Convention Centre in Philadelphia, PA, USA.
