Specialty connectors

Purpose-built connectors for the requirements a standard catalog part cannot serve.

Specialty RF connectors including transponder antennas and fuel system connectors

Service overview

Specialty connectors

Some requirements do not fit a standard catalog part. TED's specialty connectors cover the unusual interfaces, mounts and environments our customers bring to us, drawn from a design library built up since 1956.

These include 104 Series transponder antennas for ATC and IFF systems, the Helical Cable Removable Connector, connectors used on fuel systems plus blind and self-centering designs. Many began as a single customer requirement and became a repeatable TED design.

Every specialty part is produced under quality procedures in accordance with MIL-I-45208 and our ISO 9001 registration, held continuously since 1999.
