Littelfuse, Inc. an industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected, and safer world, announced the AeroSplice® Wire-to-Wire Connecting Solution, a wire splicing system designed to streamline and standardize wire connections in MIL aviation and defense applications.
AeroSplice simplifies the often tedious and error-prone process of manual wire splicing, providing a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use alternative tailored to meet the stringent MIL-SPEC (MIL-DTL-24308) requirements of the aviation and defense industries.
AeroSplice introduces a quick snap-in, snap-off solution that completes wire connections in seconds, eliminating the inefficiencies of traditional manual splicing processes. Unlike conventional methods, which often require extensive quality control and documentation, AeroSplice provides a 100% reliable connection and drastically reduces labor and inspection time, making it the ideal choice for demanding aviation and defense environments where space is limited.
