View Products

Designed for in-line disconnect applications on commercial aircrafts and business jets, QM series is the first aerospace QuickMating connector range. The QM series is widely used in today’s market due to its compact design, quick installation features and high aerospace performance. This solution provides the following to EWIS systems:

  • Time saving with a tool less connector
  • Weight savings with a composite connector mounted on a unique rail system
  • Cost effectiveness with a limited number of components through the use of EPX™ contacts and a versatile range of modular inserts

QM series is available in several shell formats – QM size A and size B, in order to optimize density and weight in the wiring system. QM shells also allow easy installation with a unique range of mounting device; this range includes stand alone devices and single and double sided rails.

The combination of reduced weight, compact size and intelligent and intuitive design create an ultra light connection requiring only fingertips for quick and easing connector mating. With the flexibility of EPX™ series parts combined with the innovation of QM series, customers receive a cost effective and user friendly solution.
