Aptiv\u2019s Winchester Interconnect Launches Modulus\u2122 Connector Platform for LEO and Drone Programs<\/b><\/p>\n

New Modular, Field-Serviceable Solution Combines Single-Pair Ethernet and Configurable Power in a Single Ruggedized Footprint<\/b><\/p>\n

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nAptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global industrial technology company and Winchester Interconnect, an Aptiv company and leading supplier of high-performance interconnect solutions, today launched Modulus\u2122, a ruggedized, modular connector platform that combines high-speed Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) and configurable power in a compact, field-serviceable design. Built for emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite programs and unmanned aerial systems (UAS), Modulus\u2122 gives engineers the ability to future-proof dense platforms by streamlining development, optimizing signal, data, and power configuration into a single connector footprint, and simplifying serviceability by replacing individual modules in the field without pulling the full assembly.<\/p>\n

\nSpace and drone programs are being developed on an aggressive timeline. Leading commercial satellite operators have already outgrown what conventional connectors can handle. Engineers are under pressure to reduce size, weight, and power without sacrificing performance. Modulus\u2122 combines Winchester\u2019s ruggedized connector expertise with Aptiv\u2019s proven high-reliability connector technology, giving programs a platform they can adapt as requirements change, without a full connector redesign each time.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSatellite and drone programs are trying to do more with less time in the lab,\u201d said Joseph Massaro, Vice Chair and President, Engineered Components. \u201cModulus\u2122 gives engineers the configurability they need with signal, power, and high-speed data in one platform, without giving up the ruggedness space and defense applications demand. Programs can mix-and-match modules to get the exact solution they need and service them in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nModulus\u2122 supports multi-megabit throughput and next-generation Single Pair Ethernet data transmission, with field-configurable technology and quick-turn maintenance capabilities for small satellite constellations through tactical UAS missions.<\/p>\n
