MIL-SPEC Aerospace and Aircraft Cable Assemblies
Lightweight MIL-SPEC Aerospace Wire, High-Temperature Cable, Cable Assemblies, and Custom Connectors
Minnovate, Minnesota Wire’s R&D division, is the driving force behind our success in the aerospace and aircraft industry. We are committed to research and development because we know that it not only opens up new technologies, it also provides unique insights into the solutions you need today.
We are leaders in the science behind lightweight MIL-SPEC aerospace wire, high-temperature cable, cable assemblies, and custom connectors that perform as required in extreme environments.
Our research with carbon fiber and carbon nanotubes has led to the development of new products that are replacing many traditional metallic conductors. This change has resulted in drastic weight savings—a key to success in this market.

Minnovate, our research and development division, boasts a rare piece of equipment called the RESS reactor (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions). The RESS reactor enables us to test conductive CNTs on virtually any surface. (The RESS reactor utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide as the solvent to allow for the dispersion of carbon nanotube powder into an appropriate polymer medium for spray applications.)
Minnovate is leading the market in design and manufacturing versatility.
Our design and engineering staff can develop a custom solution to fit your specific aerospace or aircraft wire and cable project. From the conceptual stages through full production runs, we will work with you every step of the way.
Contact Minnesota Wire to learn more or to get your custom aerospace or aircraft project started today.
