UAV Industry

Weight, durability, and reliability are paramount. Every gram counts on a UAV, so lightweight wires are essential. They must also be able to withstand the vibration and environmental exposure of flight. Pelican Wire specializes in fine-gauge, lightweight, and high-performance wires that are ideal for UAV applications.

We can use fine-gauge conductors and lightweight insulation materials to create custom cables that are significantly lighter than standard off-the-shelf options. We can also combine multiple wires into a single, compact cable to save space and weight.

UAVs use a variety of wires, including power wires for the motors and batteries, data cables for sensors and cameras, and antenna cables for communication. We can provide custom solutions for all of these applications.

In addition to weight, UAV wiring must also contend with limited space, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and the need for high reliability. Our engineers have experience in designing and manufacturing cables that address all of these challenges.

Yes, we can provide custom-molded cable assemblies that are designed to fit your specific UAV and application. This can improve the reliability and weather resistance of your UAV, as well as simplify the assembly process.

We can incorporate shielding into our custom cables to protect against EMI. This is particularly important for data cables and antenna cables, where EMI can disrupt communication and sensor readings.

The battery cables in a UAV must be able to handle high currents without overheating. They must also be lightweight and flexible. We can design custom battery cables that are optimized for your specific UAV and battery.

Yes, we can provide high-flex life cables that are designed to withstand the constant movement of a camera gimbal or other moving parts on your UAV.

We can produce wires as fine as 58 AWG, and we have a range of lightweight insulation materials to choose from. We can work with you to design the smallest and lightest wire possible for your application.

We can provide rapid prototyping and small-batch production to help you iterate on your design and get your UAV flying. Our engineers are available to consult with you on all aspects of your UAV wiring.
