Cable Manual Firing Assemblies

In critical applications such as defense and aerospace, cables are often exposed to extreme environmental conditions, including high temperatures, high humidity, and corrosive elements. Our Cable Manual Firing Assemblies are constructed using high-temperature rated conductors and fluoropolymer-based insulation materials to combat this. These materials provide superior thermal stability, allowing the cables to maintain their electrical properties even at temperatures exceeding 200°C. Furthermore, the outer sheathing is chemical-resistant, protecting against exposure to oils, solvents, and other corrosive substances that could degrade standard cables. 

Conductor Material

Silver-plated copper or tinned copper

Conductor Stranding

7/0.2mm or 19/0.2mm stranded wire

Voltage Rating

Up to 600V

Current Rating

Product Description

Firing systems require cables that transmit power and maintain signal fidelity over long distances. The assemblies are designed with multi-strand conductors made from high-conductivity materials such as tinned or silver-plated copper to reduce signal attenuation and maintain a low resistance path. This ensures that the manual firing system operates with accurate voltage and timing precision, preventing electrical signal degradation and ensuring reliable firing performance.

-55°C to +200°C

Flame Retardancy

UL 94-V0 or IEC 60332-1 certified

Shielding

Tinned copper braid or aluminum foil

Connector Type

MIL-C-5015 or MIL-C-26482 (customizable)

Power Rating

2 kW to 10 kW (depending on application)

Environmental Rating

IP67 (Waterproof and dustproof)

Certification

UL, CE, RoHS, ISO 9001:2015

Technical Advantages

Manual firing assemblies often face heavy mechanical stresses due to frequent handling and movement during operation. To address this, our assemblies feature reinforced braided shielding and strain relief structures that provide resistance against tensile forces and flex fatigue. The cables are engineered with abrasion-resistant outer jackets made from materials such as TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) or PVC that protect against physical wear and ensure that the cables remain flexible and easy to handle in field conditions, even at low temperatures. 

Firing cables are frequently subjected to mechanical shock or impact during field deployment, which can cause short circuits, wire breaks, or other failures. Our cable designs incorporate shock-resistant features, such as armored layers and reinforced construction, that minimize damage under high-impact scenarios. This ensures that the integrity of the firing assembly is maintained under sudden forces or vibrations typical in high-risk environments, such as military operations or high-altitude missions.

Chemical Manufacturing

Applied in the controlled release of materials or gases during critical processes to ensure safe operation in hazardous environments. 

Protection Against Short Circuits and Grounding Failures

Safety is a critical consideration in the design of manual firing systems. Our assemblies utilize dual insulation layers and advanced grounding systems to reduce the risk of accidental activation or short-circuiting. The inner conductor is typically coated with dual-layer insulation, which prevents the risk of internal shorts, while the outer layer ensures safe grounding to prevent accidental discharges. These assemblies adhere to MIL-SPEC (Military Standard) and other relevant safety certifications, minimizing the risk of failure due to faulty wiring. 

In systems with legacy components, compatibility with existing connectors and hardware is crucial. Our Cable Manual Firing Assemblies have modular connectivity options, supporting various standardized connectors such as MIL-C-5015 and MIL-C-26482. Additionally, customized interfaces can be provided based on your specific application requirements, including plated contacts for corrosion resistance and high-performance quick-connect features for ease of deployment and maintenance. This ensures that the assembly integrates seamlessly into a variety of firing control systems and interfaces.
