Made-in-India interconnects for aerospace and defense

The Axon’ group will be present at the Aero India show in Bangalore from 14th to 18th February 2017 on stand 9, Hall A1. With a significant part of its turnover in avionics, space and defense, the company considers this air show as the place-to-be. Aero India represents an excellent opportunity to promote not only the expertise in interconnect solutions of the whole Axon’ group but also its made-in-India cable assemblies and harnesses. In addition, on 16th February the Indian subsidiary, Axon’ Interconnectors and Wires, will hold the ground-breaking ceremony for its new factory at Devanahalli Aerospace Park in Bangalore. A large expertise in interconnect solutions Aero India is the ideal forum for Axon’ Interconnectors and Wires, together with its joint venture partner Dhruv Axon’, to highlight their expertise in cable assemblies for challenging environments. Power distribution in satellites, high frequency interconnects for radar, cable assemblies terminated with micro-D connectors and twist capsules are just a few examples of the challenging interconnect systems Axon’ is able to develop. Even smaller connectors Crimping onto wires contacts that are just a few millimeters long and less than 1 millimeter in diameter is not that easy! Visitors to the Axon’ stand will be able to see how to crimp Twist Pin contacts - and even try their hand at it! The Twist Pin contact is at the heart of Axon’s extensive range of Micro-D connectors. The spacing between each contact inserted into the connector is only 1.27 mm - half the distance (double the density) of D-Sub connectors. Axon’ promotes the Made-in-India policy Located in Bangalore since 2010, Axon’ Interconnectors and Wires produces state-of-the-art wires and cable harnesses using “made in India” micro-D connectors or indeed any other connectors where specified. Axon’ created a new factory in 2013 but the company, viewing India as a strategic market, has decided to build a new plant at the Devanahalli Aerospace Park close to the international airport in Bangalore. Axon’ Interconnectors and Wires will construct the factory on 8000 m² of land in 2 steps, 2000 m² by February 2019 and a further 2000 m² by 2021. The expert in interconnect solutions, which currently employs 65 staff, expects to hire between 100 and 200 additional staff by 2021, by which time Axon’ targets an annual turnover of around € 5 million.
