AEROSPACE. HENN in the air.

Aircrafts are only economical when they fly. The time of every MRO (Maintenance Repair Organization) on the ground is tightly timed. This is where our innovative HENN connectors make maintenance easy. They offer perfection down to the smallest detail, absolute reliability and safety without FOD. They are applied to numerous ATA codes, such as Water/Waste, Air-Conditioning and many more.

EVOLUTION: FROM THE ROAD TO THE AIR

Thanks to our fully traceable couplings, each day we gather more insights. This know-how is not only used for continuous improvement but also for the development of an aerospace grade connector. Migrating the benefits from the road to the air.​

The HENN HC.F2F01 connector offers a solution for fluid and gas transfer systems. Adapting to VDA standard the connector itself can be adapted to every type of hose or pipe and be used as a replacement for clamped or screwed connections. Tested against DO-160 G and with a compact design this connector is a versatile solution for all kind of applications within aerospace. The Main Body is manufactured as one metal part, which provides stability and excellent corrosion properties. The 100% automated manufacturing and assembly process guarantees a fully controlled manufacturing environment.

CERTIFICATION: AS PART QUALIFICATION

HENN has an official Sub-Contractor Certificate issued by an EASA DOA 21J Organization. The test campaign is fully supported by this EASA-approved DOA to validate and approve the HENN connectors and installation processes for aircraft use.​

During the certification process the configurations selected are tested in accordance with DO-160G Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment and applicable EASA CS‑25 / FAA FAR 25 requirements.​
