SolderSleeve for Space

TE Connectivity Aerospace’s SolderSleeve device for space supports the critical requirements of the space industry. This product is designed and developed for applications within the vertical market (including LEO satellites) which require low outgassing and resistance to extreme temperatures. The SolderSleeve device for space helps provide reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) and environmentally-protected shield termination on cables as well as insulation, protection, and strain relief. This product can be used for splicing wires as well as shield terminations. The space industry also demands solutions that have minimal to zero levels of foreign object damage (FOD) in key applications. The use of flux-free solder leaves no traces of particles post-installation and the sealing rings helps ensure that the installation remains intact. The SolderSleeve device for space can be used for silver-plated cables. In addition, standard tools such as the heat gun and reflector will work and follow the RCPS-100-70.
