Mid-Continent Intros MD32 Magnetometer

Aircraft manufacturers and avionics shops installing the Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics MD302 Standby Attitude Module (SAM) can now add heading information independent of primary avionics using the new MD32 Magnetometer. Introduced at the recent Aircraft Electronics Association conference, the MD32 “delivers independent heading reference without orientation limitations or the need for special installation hardware,” according to Mid-Continent.

“With this optional magnetometer, [the MD302] SAM is now the first certified indicator to deliver independent attitude, altitude, airspeed, vertical trend, slip, and heading information in a two-inch format,” according to Mid-Continent director of sales David Copeland.

Mid-Continent’s True Blue Power division introduced the 2,000-watt TC2000 AC-to-DC voltage converter, designed to provide 28-volt DC power for aircraft with AC power systems. According to True Blue Power, one TC2000 can power more than 100 True Blue UBS charging ports. The FAA- and EASA-approved TC2000 weighs less than 10 pounds and features transient, temperature monitoring, short-circuit, and overload protection.

True Blue Power also announced that its TA102 and TA202 USB charging ports are now covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The TA102 provides 2.1 amps per port, while the TA202 provides 3.0 amps per port and is available in a variety of configurations, including single- and dual-port and USB Type-A and Type-C.
