Aerospace electronics

Eurofighter Close up of wire bonding on component C-MAC MicroTechnology designs and manufactures custom hybrid electronic modules to withstand extreme environments, from the high radiation levels of space satellite applications to the wear and tear on a battlefield tank. As we are a leading supplier of some of the most advanced and sophisticated aerospace and defence electronics used in smart weapons, military satellites, space vehicles and the latest military aircraft, our list of achievements is second to none.

Integrated thick film ceramic hybrids and multi-chip modules provide the ideal packaging solution for high performance aerospace electronics in small physical footprints. Typical applications include:

MIL-STD-1553 databus Transceivers and integrated RemoteTerminals
Fly-by-light Transceivers (Eurofighter Typhoon)
Fin actuator control modules
Head-up display systems
High Frequency amplifiers
Voltage regulators
DC/DC Converters

C-MAC can offer an integration service for the thick film hybrid microcircuits we produce including:

Military grade PCB Assembly (SnPb and RoHS compliant solder)
Flying probe test
System assembly and test (box build)

C-MAC was the first hybrid electronics manufacturer outside North America to qualify product to MIL-STD-1772A in the early 1990s. This highly respected standard has evolved into MIL-PRF-38534 which is actively maintained by joint industry and DoD committees. C-MAC MicroTechnology has qualified product to Class H for military grade and Class K for space grade applications. For many years, C-MAC manufactured multi-chip modules have been incorporated into Inmarsat, classified military satellites and the International Space Station. Our facility is accredited to, ISO 9001:2000, CECC 63000 and our technology is routinely assessed to BS9540 (from 1971), plus many individual customer certifications. To complete the Quality Assurance programme, our independently ISO 17025 accredited Test House ensures our product complies in full to all national, international and customer specifications.
