Power demands for the operation of satellite payloads are increasing steadily and as a consequence so does the power generation capability of solar arrays. In most cases, this energy has to pass through the Solar Array Drive Mechanism; in other words through a slipring assembly. The use of new technologies for the manufacturing of slipring assemblies becomes thus compulsory. Among these new technologies the use of precious metal alloy wire brushes in direct contact with gold or gold plated tracks is a real improvement. This technology permits to manufacture more compact slipring assemblies in a large range of electrical power capacity. In the present paper some aspects of the design of such slipring assemblies is discussed as well as some tests conducted to verify the capacities of this technology to be adapted to medium to high power space applications.
