The Quad-switch Cover Plate Assembly permits the use of up to four separation / inhibit switches. This cover plate can be installed in any of four orientations at the top of a CubeSat Kit structure.


When used with standard CubeSat Kit™ structures, only three switches can be fitted due to a mechanical interference between the riveted edge of the CubeSat Kit Chassis Walls and this cover plate. The accompanying documentation explains how end-users must remove one of four switch mounting tabs when using this cover plate assembly with a standard CubeSat Kit chassis walls. When used with a CubeSat Kit™ Pro chassis, all four switch locations can be used.


This cover plate assembly is available in a solid-wall style and in a style that has a central hole of 88mm diameter.


This cover plate is supplied with four independent separation switches. Each separation switch has C, NC and NO solder terminals.
