Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, has unveiled 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) offers 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
Source: Cinch Connectivity Solutions SMA, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm connections, and operates reliably up to 40 GHz. Its rugged stainless steel construction and excellent low VSWR performance ensure 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 Cinch’s strong legacy in space applications, the QPS Universal Connector Saver has been designed 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 acquire the components they need for thermo-vacuum testing, pre-flight system evaluation, and satellite platform development across low Earth orbit (LEO) and all orbits.
Summary
● Product series: SQM-4733-MF-29M-02
● Applications: Thermo-vacuum chamber testing, pre-flight system evaluation, LEO satellites and all-orbit satellite platforms
