AAM eVTOL Cockpit

Flight decks are the heart of any aircraft and that is true even in Advanced Air Mobility vehicles. Secure communications, controls, and actuation require highly reliable connectors that can expand in density as the amount of signal ande sensor transmissions increase. Amphenol’s product solutions are engineered with the highest quality standards in the industry. Whether it’s our Mil Spec solutions to our custom cockpit panels, you can rely on Amphenol.

Cockpit Applications

  • Avionics
  • Controls & Actuation
  • USB Power
  • EFB Ground Communications

Supplied with a wide variety of diodes, resistors, capacitors, and fuses. Amphenol’s electronic solutions allow customers to incorporate system modifications into a wire bundle, avoiding changes in panels or boards.

Junction Modules (M81714 Style,1750,1758): Series I Terminal Junction Modules and Series II Socket Junction Modules are robust, reliable and performs to M81714 electrical and mechanical standards. Series I uses standard M39029/1 pin contacts. Series II uses M39029/22 socket contacts. Both accommodate 12-26 AWG wires. Mounting rail and installation/termination accessories and customization available.

Luminus: Luminus are small, lightweight, sealed, cost-effective connectors are highly reliable and easy to use circular connectors. The bayonet and push-pull style connectors support signal level to medium power (23A) applications. These parts can fly with Altitude Immersion testing to 75k feet. RoHS and REACH compliant.

Pegasus: Designed for use in harsh environments, Pegasus builds on the successful Luminus Series Aerospace connector with the addition of metal plated EMI/RFI shielding.  Pegasus, small, lightweight, sealed, cost-effective connectors are highly reliable and easy to use circular connectors. The bayonet style connectors support signal level to medium power (23A) applications. These parts can fly with Altitude Immersion testing to 75k feet. RoHS and REACH compliant.

Nano-Pegasus: Nano-Pegasus is a small, plastic, easy to use connectors designed specifically for sensing, command and control applications where a Micro or Nano Dsub would be used. Nano-Pegasus & Nano-Luminus provide exceptional performance in tight spaces, packing 11 high grade contacts in a shell size 5 housing.

M12883 & Quickmount Relay Sockets: Our Relay Sockets are qualified to MIL-PRF-12883 specifications and have an amp range between 2 and 25. Offered in various configurations, they feature ultrasonically bonded interfaces between the dielectric components, eliminating air paths and providing protection against moisture and degradation. Our Quick Mount Relay Sockets snap into standard aircraft panel cutouts eliminating the need of mounting hardware.

Solaris: Solaris, small, lightweight, sealed, cost-effective connectors are highly reliable and easy to use rectangular connectors. Solaris connectors support signal level to medium power (23A) applications with scoop-proof contacts. Solaris’ spring-loaded slide lock mechanism is a snap to use – simply push to lock and slide to unlock. Reverse gender capability – Allows live power connector to be either plug or receptacle. RoHS and REACH compliant.

USB IFE Power Module: USB modules deliver safe and efficient charging to passenger electronic devices (PED). The USB modules convert virtually any DC input voltage into the optimal charging power level for the connected PED. Whether the charging modules are for personal devices or critical flight equipment, Amphenol’s team of experts deliver on meeting or exceeding performance requirements.
