Essential interconnect solutions for defence projects

Smiths Interconnect provides a wide variety of both custom and standard interconnect solutions manufactured for optimum performance within challenging environments that are fundamental for defence projects, such as extreme temperatures, shock and vibration.

We are a supplier of choice for safe, efficient and highly reliable connectivity in various military and defence applications.  Our application expertise ensures the design, manufacture and supply of cost-effective, high volume products and complete tailored solutions. Our technically differentiated solutions provide our customer with a competitive advantage when tackling the challenges of higher power, higher data rates, wider bandwidth, and greater connectivity all within a smaller footprint.

Our extensive product portfolio in the defence market includes high-reliability electrical connector and cable assemblies, solution for antenna systems, datalinks and a wide range of innovative RF and microwave solution.

Our product ranges play a key role in the Communications, Electronic Warfare, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and Radar application requirements.

Defence against hostile environments

Interconnect solutions from Smiths Interconnect are manufactured and designed with a final purpose in mind. Our solutions are therefore used within the majority of defence applications where standard connectors cannot meet the requirements.

Custom interconnect systems from Smiths Interconnect are rugged to allow for contact, simultaneously providing exceptional performance benefits in adverse environments.

Next generation connector systems

Smiths Interconnect’s spring probe-based connectors have become the leading standard for high-performance accessory interconnects, and continue to be central within land mobile radio interconnection.

Spring probe-based connectors are ideal for antenna applications, accessory interconnection, power delivery, mixed signal and blind mate, as well as being shock and vibration resistant, compliant and able to withstand more than ten amps without a considerable rise in temperature.

Technological solutions for fighter transport and rotary wing aircraft

Smiths Interconnect develops advanced, innovative technological solutions for modern fighter transport and rotary wing aircraft.

Our technology adapts to environmental concerns such as vibration, shock and extreme temperatures, along with reliability required for flight critical systems.

Connector solutions from Smiths Interconnect serve in a range of airframe applications, including navigation systems, communications equipment and cockpit avionics.
