Engineers gain instant access to proven space-qualified connectivity

Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, has announced a major advancement for engineering teams working in the rapidly evolving satellite market. With testing and prototyping timelines tightening, the new Qualified Parts for Space (QPS) Universal Connector Saver (part number SQM-4733-MF-29M-02) delivers a seamless path to sourcing space-grade products designed to excel in rigorous testing environments and mission-critical applications.

The QPS Universal Connector Saver is engineered for precision performance on key interfaces, supporting SMA, 3.5mm, and 2.92mm connections, and functions reliably up to 40GHz. Its rugged stainless-steel construction and excellent low VSWR performance supply durability when it matters most. Fully tested with a 100% swept frequency protocol and compliant with or exceeding NASA’s outgassing standards (1% TML and 0.1% CVCM), the product stands as a trusted component in high-pressure aerospace projects.

Building on the company's strong legacy in space applications, the QPS Universal Connector Saver has been developed with lessons learned from major missions — supporting platforms such as the Emirates Mars Mission, Parker Solar Probe, Europa Clipper, and GPS satellites. Engineers can now easily obtain the components they require for thermo-vacuum testing, pre-flight system evaluation, and satellite platform development across LEO and all orbits.

Typical application areas include thermo-vacuum chamber testing, pre-flight system evaluation, LEO satellites, and all-orbit satellite platforms.
