Advanced Aerospace Connectors

When engineers are tasked with improving an aircraft they have to make sure that they are making a better product without compromising the rest of the aircraft, by adding weight, combustible materials or messing with the overall performance of the plane. It is critical to keep the plane as close to the original statistics as possible, in order to ensure that future flights will be smooth.

The urge to revert back to the basics, the tried and true parts, is always there. But one should always remember that just because it works doesn’t mean that it’s working in the best way possible. When picking out a new connector its important to keep in mind how the new mechanism will be used.

There are plenty of connector parts to choose from so making sure you find the right one for your specific aircraft is key. You need to take the diameter, the cruising altitude, how often the part will be tested on, etc. into consideration before making your purchase. You can find useful charts online that will show you the difference between popular connectors that are manufactured for commercial and military grade planes.

Some popular connectors include the Pegasus Series, 2M series or the D-sub series. These connectors come in a range of sizes and materials and can be fitted onto most pre-existing rigs. The bottom line is, whenever you are replacing a part on your aircraft, connector or not, always do your research to ensure that you’re getting the best product for your machine.
