UKB is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Aerospace Cables

UKB Electronics is a high-tech “Make in India” partner for the strategic aerospace and defense sectors. We produce highly specialized, lightweight, and high-performance cables that are essential for mission-critical applications where performance, weight, and space are non-negotiable. Our cables are engineered to meet the most rigorous military (MIL-Spec) and aviation specifications, ensuring absolute reliability.

Product Anatomy

Aerospace cables are an exercise in precision engineering. They are constructed with high-strength, lightweight copper alloy conductors, which are often silver or nickel-plated for corrosion resistance and high-frequency performance. The key feature is the use of advanced, thin-wall fluoropolymer insulation like PTFE (Teflon), FEP, and ETFE. This insulation provides exceptional performance across extreme temperatures (-65°C to +260°C) while being incredibly thin and lightweight.

Key Features & Customisation Options

Lightweight & Space-Saving: Ultra-thin insulation dramatically reduces overall cable weight and diameter, critical for aircraft and satellite design.
Extreme Temperature Range: Engineered to perform reliably in the deep cold of high altitude and the intense heat of engine compartments.
Superior Performance: Excellent resistance to aerospace fluids (fuels, hydraulic oils), chemicals, and radiation.
High Signal Integrity: Precision designs for high-speed databus cables with low signal loss and high EMI resistance.
Compliance: Manufactured to meet or exceed stringent military specifications and international aerospace standards.

Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities

The zero-defect performance of our aerospace cables is due to our control over advanced manufacturing processes:

Special Alloy Wire Processing: We have specialized capabilities for drawing and plating high-strength copper alloys, essential for creating lightweight yet robust conductors.
Precision PTFE Tape Wrapping: Our state-of-the-art tape-wrapping machines apply multiple layers of thin PTFE tape with extreme precision. This process is superior to extrusion for creating the thin-wall, high-performance insulation required in aerospace.
Laser Marking Systems: We utilize advanced laser marking for permanent, non-damaging identification on the thin cable insulation, a requirement for aerospace traceability.
Controlled Environment Assembly: Critical assembly and inspection steps are performed in clean, controlled environments to prevent contamination and ensure the highest level of reliability.
