New P28 aviation connector to replace Type M1/M3

LPA Connection Systems will discontinue supply of Type M1 and Type M3 28VDC connectors. These products will be replaced by the P28 connector.

We are offering customers a ‘last time buy’ on Type M1 and Type M3 connectors. We will accept orders for these products up to 30 September 2024. All orders accepted up until this date will be shipped at the earliest opportunity – we cannot accept orders with delayed delivery dates.

The P28 connector replaces the Type M1 and M3. It is now available to order – please click here for more information.

The P28 follows the same design philosophy as the Plane Power 400 Hz connectors; made from highly durable, chemically resistant, thermally stable polymers. It is IP67 rated without the need to use potting compound and takes a wide variety of composite or multi core cables. The P28 is a significantly better product than its predecessors and offers both value for money and operational reliability for end users.
