Amphenol Military & Aerospace Custom Cable Connectors provide application‑specific interconnect solutions where standard SMA, SMP, or BNC configurations do not meet mechanical or electrical needs. Each assembly is configured to match the customer’s chosen cable type, impedance, and environmental profile.

Design Scope

Custom connectors may incorporate:

• Precision 50 Ω coaxial impedance for RF and microwave lines
• Power, signal, or fiber‑optic elements for hybrid architectures
• Termination styles including crimp, solder, compression, or clamp configurations matched to cable dimensions
• Optional EMI/RFI shielding and environmental sealing systems
• Backshells with integral banding platforms or strain relief for rugged cable management

Integration Considerations

Products are developed to ensure continuous impedance control through the connector‑to‑cable transition, enabling low‑VSWR performance across required frequency bands. Engineers may specify mechanical formats including straight, right‑angle, or bulkhead feed‑through styles compatible with flexible, semi‑rigid, or micro‑coax cables.

Applications

Custom cable connectors are used across:

• Radar and electronic‑warfare modules requiring phased‑array signal alignment
• SATCOM and avionics harnesses integrating mixed‑signal cabling
• Subsystem interconnects involving unique space or vibration constraints

Engineering Support

Each custom design follows Amphenol’s connector customization workflow and product audit process to verify dimensional conformance, impedance continuity, and material performance. Documentation packages can include broadband 50 Ω audit verification or mechanical fit audits as required by system qualification.

By leveraging Amphenol’s global design and manufacturing resources, these custom assemblies allow engineers to achieve optimized RF, signal, or power routing for mission‑critical aerospace and defense systems.
