Composite connectors power revolutionary Solar Impulse aircraft

Solar Impulse uses SOURIAU composite connectors made of composite material with special metallization to be the lightest possible connectors, but those that can also meet the required EMI protection criteria.

SOURIAU provides power and signal electrical composite connectors for the revolutionary Solar Impulse solar-powered aircraft, which is working up to circle the earth without fuel only propelled by solar energy. Through a partnership agreement, Solar Impulse uses SOURIAU composite connectors to supply and monitor the four electrical motors powered with solar panel and high-performance battery.

The Solar Impulse aircraft flew though a full night relied solely on solar energy and produced no environmentally harmful emissions.
