Mobix Labs received its first production order for F-16 Fighting Falcon connectors in September, the company said. The order covers connectors that filter electromagnetic interference and follows a roughly fivefold rise in orders for F-22 Raptor components.

The F-16 is the fourth U.S. fighter program that Mobix Labs supports. Its components also support the F-22, F-35 Lightning II and F/A-18 Super Hornet.

In November, Mobix Labs received six-figure production orders from a global tier-one aerospace and defense supplier for custom engine-system connectors. The connectors protect engine control and monitoring electronics from electromagnetic interference and are used across several U.S. fighter platforms and wide-body commercial aircraft.

“Earning a place on one fighter program is hard. Supporting four says a great deal about the trust our customers place in our team and our technology,” said Phil Sansone, chief executive of Mobix Labs.
