   Alana Depew   ~   1995

 


  Contracted to provide the reliability analysis report of six (6) similar RPCM connector types (male & female, multi-insert, multi-pin mating connectors; iaw SSQ 22681) to be installed on the NASA Space Station Freedom. 
 


... Parnassus Advantage

   Typical of the way we prefer to work, the ITT Cannon analysis / report exceeded the minimum criteria in several ways, e.g. enhanced detail of analysis, using graphic illustration instead of words alone, etc.



   Example:  
to reduce electrical stresses, some inserts contain an integral bus plate.  The bus plates were shown to improve reliability by distributing peak load current among several contacts.
