Randolph, New Jersey Jul 27, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - "We at ADI American Distributors LLC wish to express our sincere appreciation to our employees and partners for their loyal support as we celebrate our 40th year in business. When our company was founded in 1983 with just three employees, we could hardly foresee our growth into an international company with a staff of hundreds. We could not have come this far without the loyal support and hard work of each member of the ADI team and the trust of our customers & suppliers," announced David Beck, President and CEO.
Quality and Compliance Focus
Exceptional companies in the aerospace and other industry segments are increasingly seeking long-term commitments in exchange for providing business partners with improved safety, lower risk, and value-added services that enhance the end-user experience. We recognized when we began our business that the highest level of quality products would improve ADI's reputation, reduce production costs, and minimize logistics issues. That's why ADI has invested in delivering high-quality products and services and made a serious commitment to continual improvement in operations. That process included better resource management, sustainable procurement, controlled monitoring, time-saving, reduced operating costs, increased productivity, internal auditing, and reviewing. This has reduced the occurrence of non-conforming products and services and has led to better overall performance.
Focusing on quality has improved ADI's reputation and strengthened our relationships with customers. It also meant optimizing the potential and abilities of human resources by continuous training, while guaranteeing that we can ship the best products when and where our customers need them.

Though Martin County has long been known as a local tech and development center for aviation, 3 local businesses will soon be able to claim that they have been to the moon. Microwave Components LLC, and Smiths Interconnect America’s Inc. are both contributors and partner collaborators in the development and manufacture of the Orion Space Capsule.
How local business is effecting positive change at home and interstellar.
On December 14th, 1972, U.S. astronauts lifted off of the lunar surface following the final moon walks of the Apollo program. Now, just short of that 50-year anniversary, NASA is preparing to return. With a schedule net launch date of August 29th, the National Aeronautical and Space Administration is hoping its test flight mission- dubbed Artemis 1- will be the launching of a new age in lunar space activity.
Following the completion of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011, the United States has relied on international and private partners to bring its astronauts into space. Additionally, it has been private corporations and military assets that have launched satellites into earth’s orbit over the last decade. Artemis seeks to be NASA’s reentry to the field.
The program’s mission: to return humanity to the moon’s surface and eventually set up outposts both in the lunar orbit, on its crust, eventually create the needed infrastructure for possible human explorations to Mars. The goals (and challenges) are undoubtedly- out of this world, but a select few in Martin County have seized the opportunity.
Though Martin County has long been known as a local tech and development center for aviation, 3 local businesses will soon be able to claim that they have been to the moon. Microwave Components LLC, and Smiths Interconnect America’s Inc. are both contributors and partner collaborators in the development and manufacture of the Orion Space Capsule. C M Tool of Palm City is also a partner in fabrication for the SLS or Space Launch System- the rocket system that will propel Orion to our closest celestial neighbor.
The Orion Space Capsule is a three-stage crewed capsule with service module and launch abort safety systems. This design is a culmination of lessons learned from the previous 4 major NASA mission series, integrating advanced technologies for capsule control and communications while also returning to the geometrically beneficial design of a capsule atop a rocket. This design provides for a more economical and practical launch system to get the capsule into deep space. The Orion uses more than 45 miles of cables, advanced circuitry and telemetric devices all to operate the most advanced lunar bound craft the world has seen. Microwave Components, LLC, is one of the world’s leading distributors for connectors and adaptors, antennas, bulk cable and cable accessories amongst other products. Smith’s Interconnect America is a product developer and manufacturer for connectivity devices and operational subsystems used in satellites and ground support technology. It is easy to see how these community members would be great fits to partner with NASA and its contractors, to build this space craft.

Amphenol Canada -Coax Contacts
|
|
The use of coax contacts within a connector, compared to the use of individual coaxial/shielded connectors, offers advantages of savings in space and weight and no cross-mating difficulties. Coax and standard contacts may be mixed within the connector to meet special signal needs. The connector itself offers further protection and environmental integrity through the grommets and seals used, and the coaxial junction is protected by the connector outer shell. |
