Wildcat Connectors for UAVs

TE Connectivity's (TE) Wildcat Connectors for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs) are designed for aerospace, defense, and transportation applications to help meet the growing demands of smaller sizes, lower weights, and better performance. These connectors are thermal cycle tested and environmentally sealed to IP67 when mated, and the black zinc nickel plating makes them suitable for UAV systems. Wildcat connectors feature a vast array of options, including insert arrangement, shell style and size, current rating, and the number of positions. Additional features include interfacial and wire sealing, a positive locking coupling mechanism, and a scoop-proof interface. TE Wildcat Connectors are ideal for reducing the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of next-generation UAVs, enabling extended mission deployments, better fuel efficiency, and the ability to add capabilities like surveillance.
