Glenair Signature Interconnect Innovations for Land, Sea, Air, and Space Applications

Interconnect Wire Harness and Cable Assemblies are the connectivity backbone of electronic systems. Fabricated in a factory setting, build-to-print wire harness assemblies enable the OEM manufacturer to reduce the time and expense of in situ interconnection of electronic devices used in complex air, sea, land and space applications.

Integrated Soldier Power / Data Hubs are Personal Area Network (PAN) hub and interconnect systems providing network data access, peripheral connectivity and smart battery power management for dismounted soldier C4ISR electronics in Digitally Aided Close Air Support (DACAS) missions, including precision targeting, tactical radio communications, real-time video downlink, night vision technologies, GPS/navigation, blue force tracking, personal computing and smart phone integration.

Hermetic connectors are a special class of sealed Mil /Aero interconnect that incorporates glass-to-metal or other highly-engineered sealing technology. Hermetic seal connectors are specified for applications as divergent as submarines and orbiting satellites. They are deployed to resist moisture ingress in underground applications and to withstand pressure differentials in vacuum chambers, laboratory equipment and commercial and military aircraft.

Hermetic seal connectors, such as the MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, II, III and IV supplied by Glenair, are principally designed for use in military aerospace — in fact, the sealing requirement for connector hermeticity was originally driven by military electronic applications. But the products are equally at home in commercial applications such as oil-patch, logging equipment or medical devices.

Metal braided sleeving and tubular expandable braided cable shielding is used primarily in the electrical wire interconnect industry to protect cables from electrostatic and electromagnetic interference. The interwoven conductive wire acts as a ground-path barrier that attenuates cable electrical field interference. In addition, both metallic and non-metallic braided shielding provides abrasion and cut protection for critical wiring, a particular concern in environments, such as aircraft, where vibration or other forms of rough handling may result in damage to individual wire conductors and cable bundles.

Glenair manufactures the world's most innovative line of metal, monofilament non-metallic, and microfilament composite and stainless steel braiding solutions for environmental, mechanical, and EMC shielding in interconnect cable assemblies. Our industry-leading ArmorLite braided shielding is manufactured from ultra-lightweight stainless steel microfilaments, metal-clad for optimal conductivity and EMI/RFI shielding. Our AmberStrand tubular braided shielding is built from a lightweight composite thermoplastic microfilament, with or without additional metal filaments and plated for outstanding grounding and shielding protection.

From high-temperature fiberglass tubular shielding for engine applications to ultra-lightweight EMI/RFI braided shielding for electrical wire interconnect grounding applications, Glenair offers the industry's most innovative range of solutions.

For Ground, Sea, Air, and Space Application

The Series 23 SuperNine® advanced performance MIL-DTL-38999 connector series provides many of the technology advances exceeding MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. Higher mating cycles, integrated banding porch, PC Tail and standoff availability and crimp termination Hermetics are all part of the family.

The world’s most advanced and mature high-performance ultraminiature connectors, the Series 80 Mighty Mouse matches the electrical and mechanical performance of popular mil-standard connectors, but in a smaller and lighter package for tactical military, aerospace, and soldier-worn electronics. Series 804 Quick-Disconnect and Series 824 Locking Push-Pull versions offer environmental sealing and rugged design in a lightweight, push-pull package used for headsets, radios, weapons and other applications. Series 806 meets D38999 performance meeting immersion requirements and provide excellent durability, sealing, and EMI shielding at just half the size and weight of D38999. Series 811 is even higher density in the same shell size offerings. There are now over 150 insert arrangements covering the spectrum of systems requirements. The high-performance Mighty Mouse is now specified on hundreds of mission-critical soldier and mil/aero applications worldwide and continuing to add more....
