Space Qualified Switches

We have been a leading supplier of space products for the last few decades, and have delivered space hardware ranging from a basic SPDT switch to fully integrated switch blocks. We have a dedicated staff of highly skilled and experienced engineers and technicians who, through their robust and mature knowledge, make possible our excellent reputation for performance.

We are completely facilitated with a modern in-place space infrastructure that can meet the most stringent requirements of our customers. With our extensive electromechanical switch production capability, we have the synergism to optimally blend our standard production capability into our space infrastructure to meet the rapid delivery and high quantity of products required for the satellite communications marketplace.

Our new and advanced capability includes an 800 sq. ft clean room facility, environmental facilities and thermal vacuum capability. Only a brief, and far from inclusive, sampling of the space products in which we have been active participants over the years, is presented in this short summary. If you do not see a product that specifically meets your requirements, don't hesitate to contact us and we will provide you with a prompt answer to your needs.

Through years of working with the space industry, Dow-Key has developed a product offering that extends from the simplest to the most complex electromechanical switch solutions that support space-level systems. At one end of this spectrum are the industry standard SPDT and Transfer Switches. At the other end are T-Switches, High Power Switches, Switch Blocks, and Integrated Assemblies. All of our Switches are designed, manufactured and screened in accordance with space level criteria and are supported by a unique team of program professionals inclusive of its own design engineering staff, data analysis, parts control program and dedicated manufacturing areas. Dow-Key continues its strong commitment to the space market by implementing new products and services, as well as working closely with our customers as older designs are transitioned to include new technologies for higher levels of performance, reliability, mission success, and cost efficiencies.
