The UMP connector offers as much as 80 amps per contact and is available as a power or mixed-signal and power connector.

HARRISBURG, Pa. – TE Connectivity in Harrisburg, Pa., is introducing the Unmanned Power (UMP) connector as a reliable and durable interconnect device that can balance signal and power capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The UMP connector offers as much as 80 amps per contact and is available as a power or mixed-signal and power connector.

Today's UAV connectors have experienced challenges with amp rating, connector size, and mixed signal variations, which can force designers to sacrifice one benefit for the other.

TE's UMP connector is designed to provide a reliable contact interface that safely delivers power or power and signal to control rotors, battery systems, and power-distribution systems of unmanned vehicles.

TE's UMP connectors withstand harsh environments using high-temperature materials; crimp pigtail assembly with flexible silicone wire; integrated power with two or three position power options; mixed-signal options; and a small bulkhead mount.
