Spaceflight
High-performance connectors that meet the stringent qualifications required for space flight, including the Goddard Space Flight Center S-311 and MIL-DTL-24308 Class M specifications. Our D-Subminiature spaceflight series connectors work well in aviation and space flight applications.
Space ST Connector
A MIL-STD-83522 style connector and strain relief boot are compliant to NASAEEE-INST-002 material guidelines for space applications. The Space ST is an M83522 style variant, which features a higher spring force than commercial ST connectors, allowing it to meet the shock and vibration requirements of MIL-C-83522.
SP Max
The SP Max is specifically designed for power and signal management in military, space, satellite, and commercial air applications. Its slim precision machined shell is available in three sizes with four contact sizes and twenty-one layout options available for versatility.
SSMC Connectors
SSMC connectors are ideal for limited-space applications that require the security of a threaded coupling mechanism. They are best used with semi-rigid cables or miniature flexible cables in demanding applications up to 12.4 GHz.
Standard Density D-Sub
Positronic offers a variety of standard and high-density D-subs, as well as accessories and ComboD-sub connectors. Highly reliable with precision-machined contacts, our connectors meet various industrial and military performance levels for applications from basic power supplies to advanced weapon systems and flight. Explore our design features including package size, contact, and mating variants.
Starline - Starline Ex
The Star-Line EX® series is certified for use in a Zone 1/2/21/22 hazardous environment. Classified facilities such as petrochemical refineries and land/offshore drilling systems are but a few of the applications for this broad product series. The Star-Line EX® is certified to the latest IECEx, ATEX, UL FM, EN 60079 standards, as well as the current EAC/GOST standards.

TacBeam as per VG95319-100; -101
TacBeam is a hermaphroditic lens connector, insensitive to dust and dirt. This connector is qualified as per MIL-DTL-83526/20 and 21. In addition, it is approved as per VG95319-100; -101, and is thus suitable for outdoor applications. A marine bronze version is also available (according to VG95319-102).
Temper-Grip
New high current technology alternative to our RadSok socket. Temper Grip contacts increase ampacity up to 40%, which increases the value of your system or downsize cable size and space on a panel. Temper-Grip contacts will far outlast the temperature extremes of the standard connectors they can go into.
