Eaton combines advanced engineering tools with an extensive array of vertically-integrated-manufacturing resources to quickly deliver custom aviation ground power solutions. This tightly integrated, design-through-deployment methodology improves performance and reliability, reduces cost, and accelerates time to market across a wide range of production volumes.
Eaton's custom receptacle capabilities augment a broad range of standard aviation ground power receptacles and plug/cable assemblies.
Airframe-specific 400hz, 28vdc and 270vdc receptacles
Custom 400Hz, 28VDC and 270VDC receptacles are available with airframe and GPU specific form factors, custom mounting flanges, replaceable pins, and spring-loaded covers.
The 270VDC receptacle depicted to the left, and the mating cable assembly, was develpoed for a military helicopter and meets the requirements of MIL-C-81790 where applicable. In addition to providing 270VDC at 120 amps, the airframe receptacles and GPU cables facilitate the distribution of 28VDC at 40 amps.
In-flight disconnects
A broad range of flight-proven technologies can be leveraged to quickly develop custom in-flight disconnects. Design options include:
