Connectors meet demands of stringent military standard classification
C I
inch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company and a global specialist in delivering reliable connectivity solutions, has expanded its Mil/Aero Circular MD801 Series. The Mil/Aero Circular MD801 is a lightweight, ultraminiature connector with small form factors and high-density capabilities, ideal for aerospace, military, and other harsh environment applications. With the features meeting Military Standard (MIL-SPEC) classifications, this product can
also be adapted to accommodate commercial applications. Additional use cases include UAV’s, military vehicle coms, satellite communication systems, military radios, and military display systems.
The new products include the MD801 9-19, MD801 6-7, MD801 8-13, MD801 10-26, and MD801 13-37 models in several finishes, including OD/Cadmium and Electroless nickel. The connectors are available as plugs or receptacles with standard crimp, solder, and PC Tail terminations for board
mount applications. They provide full
performance in extreme environments with protection against cross mating and vibration. The shells, available in sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 13, include jam
nut receptacle, square flange receptacle and in-line plugs, which are compatible with leading competitive equivalents. Contact
arrangements range from 1 to 130.

HENSOLDT equips German C-130 “Hercules” with state-of-the-art missile defence system
n the course of the acquisition of three Lockheed C-130J-30 and KC-130J “Hercules” aircraft each, the German Bundeswehr decided to equip all aircraft with HENSOLDT’s latest generation of defence sensor technology. With MILDS Block 2, HENSOLDT is supplying a total of 35 sensors (five per aircraft and five units for lab use) to Danish company Terma A/S, which is managing the integration of the systems at Lockheed Martin through Terma Inc. The contracts, with a scope of 2.9 million euros, were signed in 2020. So far, 20 sensors and the ordered desiccant-kits have already been delivered. By January 2023, the remaining 15 sensors will be delivered. The first “Hercules” for the German Air Force was handed over in Évreux/Fauville (France)
on February 19, 2022 to the Franco-German air-transport squadron. With MILDS Block 2, HENSOLDT is also helping to close the capability gap created by the retirement of the C-160 “Transall”.
MILDS Block 2 is a passive, true imaging sensor system optimised for detecting emission signatures in the UV solar blind spectral band emitted from an approaching missile exhaust plume. The sensor is designed as the successor to the well-known MILDS AN/AAR-60, offering increased sensitivity and additional applications. MILDS Block 2 detects incoming missile threats and indicates the direction of arrival with maximum warning time. MILDS Block 2’s high spatial resolution combined with advanced temporal processing provides a very high declaration rate while
virtually eliminating false alarms. MILDS Block 2 consists typically of four to six identical interconnected detectors integrated into the higher-level EW system. In addition, neither cooling nor a central processing unit are required.
A high percentage of aircraft losses in current and recent conflicts have been caused by ground-based defence systems using IR SAM (infrared surface-to-air missile). To keep pace with this evolution on the threat side, HENSOLDT Sensors has developed the
MILDS AN/AAR-60 Block 2 missile warning system, a self-protection solution specifically for helicopters and wide-body aircraft that allows for higher performance and enables additional features such as in-sensor data recording and Hostile Fire Indication (HFI). Rapid detection and declaration, combined with automatic countermeasure release and crew alerting, supports mission success and safe crew and aircraft return.

ane Electronics, a franchised distributor for many of the industry’s major electrical and electronic connector manufacturers, is pleased to announce their continued association with JOSCAR, the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register. JOSCAR is a collaborative tool used by the aerospace, defence and security industries to function as a single repository for pre-qualification and compliance information. By using JOSCAR an OEM can quickly and simply determine if a supplier is “fit for business” and a qualified Electronics Solutions Partner.
The accreditation is supported by leading 16 March 2022
defence OEMs including BAE Systems, Leonardo, Ministry of Defence, QinetiQ, General Dynamics and Raytheon and is comprised of a central register holding common supplier information which can be quickly accessed by all participating buying organisations. JOSCAR successfully reduces the time, cost and resources needed to provide
information to major prime customers while avoiding duplication of information.
Components in Electronics
One of the key aims of JOSCAR is to ensure that the information that suppliers and third parties are asked to provide to
their clients is proportionate to the types of goods of services being supplied. A dynamic two-stage process is used to ensure that the process is tailored, and therefore as efficient as possible. Lane Electronics is a major source for all key connector types including circular, filtered, RF, coaxial, sub – miniature, backshells and adaptors, D connectors, aerospace, test & measurement, IDC, PCB connectors, edge connectors and connectors for rack and panel applications.
