Glenair has been making interconnect and wire harness shielding products since the dawn of manned space flight. At GSS, we have created a vertically-integrated space-grade component manufacturing, harness assembly, test, and integration operation. In building interconnect solutions for space—as opposed to other disciplines—we follow different rules of engagement. Every crimp joint, for example, is photographed. Every shield junction measured and recorded. Every electromechanical HDRM is 3D optical profilometer-inspected. Nothing is left to chance, everything is documented. These practices extend into every area of the operation, from our space-grade harness assembly group to our mechanical integration team, electromechanical device fabrication shop, and EGSE test rack and cable division. ESA/NASA IPC-certified staff provide value-added Engineering Base and 3D SolidWorks design, prototyping, and clean-room harness assembly. ISO 5 flow chamber (certified to ESD Standard 61340-5-1), with ample accommodation for large mock-up and integration projects.

Clean Room assembly with both environmental filtering and electrostatic discharge protection.
ESA and NASA IPC- Certified Wire Harness Assembly and Integration: Glenair has produced thousands of ground and space-flight shielded interconnect harness assemblies. Our GSS facility is optimized to serve both the European and NA markets with unique flight-ready systems and integrated assemblies that combine Glenair’s unique range of high-performance interconnect components with our ESA/NASA IPC- certified harness assembly and clean-room integration capabilities.
