Founded in 1948, Teledyne Reynolds, Inc. (TRI) leads the connector industry worldwide in the design of high voltage interconnects rated for use at voltages from 5 kVDC to 50 kVDC at altitudes of 70,000 feet (21.34 km) and above while exposed to temperatures as low as -55°C and up to 125°C. While not all connector designs offered by TRI in this website are designed to operate at those extremes, all will perform with a high degree of reliability when operated as specified.

TRI uses state of the art manufacturing equipment and all of the products have full material and build traceability to meet all customer requirements.  During manufacturing, products are subjected to rigorous in-process checks and final inspection testing. These manufacturing and quality policies and procedures are the result of TRI's 65 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of high voltage interconnect solutions for the most demanding aerospace/defense applications.

Accordingly, Teledyne Reynolds' high voltage wire, cable, single pin and multi-pin connectors are known for their reliability in harsh environments, their small size compared to other manufacturer's interconnect designs for the same voltage rating and their outstanding quality. These products, some of which have been in active production for more than sixty years, reflect the legacy of Teledyne Reynolds' strong commitment to engineering, quality and customer service.

Supporting customers through six core product groups ...

High Voltage Connectors and Cable Assemblies

Both single pin and multi-pin configurations with ratings from 5 kVDC to 50 kVDC from sea level to 70,000 feet (21.34 km) with some designs even rated for use in Space.  Features include:

• Several series of products are available as connector kits, also called bag assemblies, to allow for assembly at the customer's location or field installation
  
• Pre-terminated and tested cable assemblies built to length for customers that prefer a complete solution
  
• Connectors that use Teledyne Reynolds' patented Advanced Interface Sealing System™. Technologically advanced, these connectors represent the state-of-the-art in high voltage connector design and manufacture.

High Voltage Wire and Cable

Taking advantage of TRI's six decades of experience working in areas such as high voltage induced electric fields, high dielectric strength materials and low partial discharge interconnect design to create wire products rated to up to 60 kVDC that are far superior in performance, size, mass and flexibility to what is available from the traditional wire market.  Designs and features include:

• Single and multi-conductor designs with or without shielding and jacketing
• High flexibility designs starting at ratings of 3 kVDC with an overall diameter as small as .019" (.48mm)
• Proprietary Ready-to-Bond™ etched or silicone coated FEP and PFA to enable cohesive bonds to encapsulants without any further surface preparation of the wire by the customer
• Distributed loss, low pass filter, RF attenuation designs
• Low partial discharge, semi-conductive layer designs

High Energy Devices

This group consists of three products:

• Mica+TM High Voltage Mica capacitors
• Spark Gaps (Gas Discharge Tubes)
• Triggered Spark Gaps

All of which are designed to exhibit exceptional and stable performance in military and high shock environments.​

High Voltage Hermetic Connectors

A subset of our High Voltage Connector products, these single pin ceramic-to-metal, brazed receptacles use only the best quality, minimum 94% alumina ceramic, are metallized with moly-manganese and are nickel plated.  Features include:

• Minimum leak rate rating of 1 x 10-8 cc/s He at 1 ATM differential pressure with maximum measurable leak rate test capability at TRI of 1 x 10-10 cc/s He at 1 ATM differential pressure
• 15 to 1000 PSI (1 to 68 ATM) operating pressure differential
• Custom  designs

Hi-Rel Custom Interconnects

TRI has supported a wide variety of customers by designing and manufacturing customized connectors and cable assemblies for their high reliability (Hi-Rel), mission critical requirements.  These assemblies have not only specialized in high voltage, but also fiber optic, signal, high current and a variety of hybrid configurations.  Design and features include:

• High pressure operation
• Sub-sea compatibility
• Radiation tolerance
• Highly engineered solutions

... across a number of industries ...
