Spaceflight-proven electrical interfaces designed for PSC Lightband, CSD and other low-shock separation mechanisms. Three compact parts, one simple way to get power and signals cleanly across a separation plane.
TRL-9 heritage
Low-shock separation
Space-qualified hardware
Three PSC components we stock
Powell-Europe focuses on the key subassemblies designers actually need: matched upper and lower separation connectors, plus a sealed separation switch. All are compact, low mass, and qualified for demanding launch and on-orbit environments.
Built for serious missions
Planetary Systems Corporation hardware has been used on NASA, Air Force and commercial missions as the low-shock separation solution for smallsats and upper stages. Their Lightband® and related systems provide motorized, non-pyro separation that reduces structural loads and simplifies integration. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Low-shock, non-pyrotechnic separation
Suitable for CubeSats, microsats and multi-payload adapters
Backed by Rocket Lab’s PSC separation systems team
Where these parts fit in
The three PSC parts offered by Powell-Europe are subassemblies that plug directly into your separation architecture:
Upper & lower separation connectors: carry signals and power across the separation plane.
Separation switch: provides an electrical “separated / not separated” indication or deployment confirmation.
Suitable for use with PSC Lightband, CSD and custom mechanisms that need reliable, low-mass electrical interfacing.
