Independent Aircraft Interlock
Mechanical, electrical, software and manufacturing for complete solutions.
Independent Aircraft Interlock—Simple, Reliable, and Non-Intrusive
The Forge Heavy Industries Split “F” Relay provides a reliable aircraft interlock solution by utilizing the Split “F” pin from the aircraft power connector—without requiring any direct interface with the aircraft systems. Designed for simplicity and dependability, this relay ensures safe power engagement by confirming proper cable connection before allowing output.
By leveraging the existing Split “F” circuit within the aircraft cable head, the system enables an effective interlock mechanism that operates independently of aircraft wiring or onboard controls. This approach reduces complexity, eliminates the need for aircraft modifications, and enhances overall system safety.
