Electrical harness interconnects

Conduit systems range from high temperature, very lightweight materials such as PTFE and PEEK to rugged neoprene and Limited Fire Hazard Kafon 2000 heavy duty materials. These combined with a wide variety of overbraid and sheath materials offer mechanical and electrical screening protection for wired harnesses in applications ranging from antennae and secure communications systems to ammunition hoists.

Icore also offer design solutions for termination of open wired, overbraided or shrink sleeve harnesses, including those requiring special cable screen termination devices, and electrical connector accessories, adaptors and backshells (in both metallic and composite materials) with plating options.

FLUID TRANSFER SYSTEMS            top

Icore is unique in its ability to design and manufacture both electrical and fluid interconnect systems for high performance applications.

As both a manufacturer of convoluted PTFE hose, and the UK distributor for Stratoflex, we can supply a wide range of aerospace qualified or general purpose high, medium or low pressure flexible PTFE hoses and Quick Disconnect Couplings for applications ranging from fuel systems to electronics cooling equipment.

We also offer a custom service to optimise design for unique or specific applications.

The long service life of PTFE makes it ideal for use in systems where high reliability is imperative, for example, on missile systems or submarine systems.

Products and Services Include:

High pressure PTFE hose assemblies
Low and Medium pressure PTFE hose Assemblies
Firesleeved hose assemblies
Quick Disconnect Couplings

HIGH CURRENT CONNECTORS               top

Icore high current connectors are designed using our own proven high performance contact band technology, - for a current range between 50A and 10,000A - with its associated benefits of low insertion force, low voltage drop and low contact resistance.

This technology can be incorporated into a wide range of power-related applications, from withdrawable racks to battery disconnect connections.

We also offer a custom service to optimise design for unique or specific applications.
