Mechanc RF & Microwave Components

Market Focus

Aerospace Systems

Commercial and civil aircraft carry more RF than ever — navigation, surveillance, weather radar, cabin connectivity and a growing weight of sensor data. Mechanc supplies interconnect qualified to the vibration, altitude and temperature environment an airframe actually imposes, with the documentation certification demands.

RF Performance

Built for the Airframe Environment

Aircraft interconnect is judged on what it does after twenty thousand flight hours, not on the bench. Our aerospace-grade connectors and assemblies are selected for vibration endurance, altitude derating and the corrosion environment that pressurisation cycles create.

Where Our Products Are Deployed

NAV / COMMDO-160
Cockpit Electronics
RF Interfaces for Cockpit Electronics
Compact SMA and TNC interfaces behind primary flight displays, navigation receivers and comm panels, where space is measured in millimetres and access for maintenance is worse.
SMA 18 GHz
TNC Threaded
DO-160
PITOTAOASTATICSENSOR BUS
Aerospace Sensors
RF Interfaces for Aerospace Sensors
Sealed interconnect for air-data probes, ice detection and structural health sensors mounted outside the pressure vessel, exposed to rain erosion and the full temperature swing.
Sealed
-55°C Rated
Vibration
HARNESSEMI-SHIELDED BACKSHELL
Wiring & Interconnection
Aerospace Wiring & Interconnection Solutions
Shielded harness assemblies and EMI backshells for routed runs through bays and bulkheads, built to the routing drawing rather than cut to length on the aircraft.
EMI Shielded
Backshells
Custom Length
10 Gb/sIFE / AFDXBACKBONE
Airborne Networks
High-Bandwidth Cabling for Airborne Networks
Low-loss backbone cabling for AFDX, in-flight entertainment and cabin connectivity, where bandwidth per kilogram is the figure that matters.
Low Loss
10 Gb/s
Lightweight
LRU RACKARINC BACKPLANE
Avionics Modules
Interconnects for Avionics Modules
Blind-mate and rack interfaces for line-replaceable units, so an LRU can be swapped on the ramp without a technician aligning a connector by eye.

LRU Rack
ARINC
SATCOMKu / KaIN-FLIGHT
In-Flight Connectivity
Cabin Satcom & Connectivity
Ku- and Ka-band interfaces between fuselage-mounted satcom antennas, modems and cabin distribution, running through a pressure boundary.
