Phoenix Logistics, Inc. designed, developed, and currently produces program specific contacts which cover a wide frequency spectrum.
We entered this market to meet customer concerns regarding price and availability of unique contacts that have been worked into a program and become specified commodities for that program. Being unique meant that for many of these contacts, there was only one supplier, leaving many programs vulnerable to the vagaries of a single supplier.
Such has been the case with Solder Tacs provided by TYCO (Raychem Corporation). Phoenix Logistics, Inc. has developed the equivalent to D602-126 and D602-127 contacts and has also designed replacements for Solder Tacs that Raychem has discontinued.
Phoenix Logistics, Inc. utilized the same approach for equivalent contacts to Radiall Jerriks EPX Triaxial contacts. In this case, development was driven by C-17 Globemaster cost reductions.
Phoenix Logistics, Inc. has also developed Microwave Contacts utilizing a moldable plastic with a dielectric constant equivalent to Teflon.
