Different military standards have been important drivers in the development of connectors. One of the requirements found in most standards is the non-reflectivity of connectors which are used for various military equipment. Non-reflectivity is one aspect, but another is the color of the products. The olive green color remains the dominant one although since the implementation of new European regulations concerning environmental practices, there are a number of cases where specifications shift from olive green to black or gray, while keeping the notion of non-reflectivity. Thanks to its R&D and electroplating departments, SOURIAU - SUNBANK Connection Technologies maintains a competitive edge in this area and is a global leader for high-performance and highly reliable non-reflective connectors.
