Research abstract
Not Available The development of a high-density connector system with self-aligning capability is undertaken. This research solves a problem to decrease the mass and weight of connectors used in space systems. This architecture defines a connector system with contacts on a .25mm pitch. Three types of contacts are provided: signal, RF, and power with 2-3 amp capacity. Utilizing shape memory alloy springs (SMA) to activate the aligning and engagement mechanism provides for a zero insertion force engagement.
