Wire-to-wire connecting solution provides mil-spec compliance for aviation and defence

Littelfuse, Inc. has released the AeroSplice Wire-to-Wire Connecting Solution, a wire splicing system designed to streamline and standardise wire connections in aviation and defence applications. AeroSplice simplifies the often tedious and error-prone process of manual wire splicing, supplying a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use alternative tailored to meet the stringent mil-spec (MIL-DTL-24308) requirements of the aviation and defence industries.

The product introduces a quick snap-in, snap-off solution that completes wire connections in seconds, eradicating the inefficiencies of traditional manual splicing processes. Unlike conventional methods, which often need extensive quality control and documentation, the solution provides a 100% reliable connection and drastically reduces labour and inspection time, making it an excellent choice for demanding aviation and defence environments where space is limited.

"AeroSplice is designed with the unique needs of the aviation and defence industries in mind," said Rémi Antoine, global product manager at C&K, a part of Littelfuse. "Our goal is to provide a reliable, user-friendly solution that simplifies the splicing process while offering savings in time and labour. With AeroSplice, manufacturers and maintenance teams can achieve higher reliability and efficiency, transforming how wire splicing is managed in aerospace and defence applications."

AeroSplice is an excellent solution for a wide range of applications within the aviation and defence industries, including:

Aircraft systems

• Electrical harness connections in commercial and military aircraft
• Integration of avionics components with minimal wiring.
