For the US Government MX-Missile Connector Program
Elmag was qualified as a single source by the Boeing Aerospace Company to participate in the design and development of the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)-Proof Connectors for the US Air Force’s MX Missile.
Elmag worked closely with Boeing personnel, designing an EMI-proof electrical connector / back shell joint. Elmag’s design met all the US Air Force specifications. As a result, Elmag designed and built a complete MAGNEPULSTM /Magneform assembly system including a work station and all necessary tooling.
The whole system was installed on a timely basis. It is since in trouble- free operation.
As a result of our efforts, and on-time delivery, Elmag received a Small Business Supplier award from the Boeing Company.
Photos of some of the connector components with back shells, as well as the MAGNEPULSTM machine to assemble them, appear below.

Note: The back shell is intimately swaged onto the connector with an EMF pulse, thus providing an EMI proof joint.

The connector assembly on the left shows two operations; 1. the anodized back shell is formed 360 degree onto the connector and 2. an anodized Al-ring is tightly swaged onto the braiding. Both operation assured a 360 degree EMI-proof joint.
