ITT Showcases Connectors For Battlefield Equipment

ITT is to exhibit the Trinity MKJ miniature circular interconnects for missiles and battlefield equipment, and the miniature Nemesis connectors for on-soldier applications at Eurosatory. The defence exhibition will be held in Paris on 14-18 June at Viparis Nord, Villepinte Exhibition Centre. ITT will exhibit its Trinity MKJ range of mini circular connectors, which offer similar electrical and mechanical properties to MIL-STD-38999 military connectors but are up to 71 per cent lighter and 52 per cent smaller, making them suitable for defence applications such as satellites, missiles and tactical battlefield equipment.

ITT ICS's Trinity MKJ connectors are available with a choice of threaded, bayonet and breakaway couplings, including Pogo pin technology, which combines fast snap-on breakaway coupling with tactile and audible mating systems, and an ergonomic grip for easier handling in the field. These harsh-environment commercial Pogo pin interconnects are available with stainless-steel shells and interfacial seals, and offer low contact resistance combined with reliable and robust performance. This year, ITT is adding four new MKJ configurations to complement its five existing signal layouts: 9-4 power layout to address higher amperage requirements; and 8-13, 10-26, and 15-55, 5A signal layouts.

Additional shell/coupling styles will include: MKJ3 Bayonet coupling for quick twist mating and de-mating; MKJ5 triple start thread for quick, secure mating and de-mating; and stainless-steel MKJ1 versions for superior corrosion protection.

Accessories now also include: contact and shield termination tooling; straight and 90deg backshells; heat shrink boots and metal dust caps.

ITT will also show its Nemesis SC miniature connectors at Eurosatory. Lightweight and fully sealed to IPI67, the devices also feature a patented pull-back barrel system that facilitates cleaning but allows a return to full operational functionality in seconds. Weighing less than 25g and measuring less than 15mm in diameter, Nemesis connectors are designed for command, control, communications and modern 'future soldier' applications.

The new Nemesis Water Tight (WT) connector is fully sealed in the unmated condition - more than 20m - and weighs less than 30g a mated pair. Utilising ITT's micro-twist pin gold-plated contacts with a durability rating of 2,500 cycles, the WT connectors are blind mateable. The WT is available in Snap-on/Breakaway and Push Pull couplings. Nemesis High Mating (HM) and Super Clean (SC) feature ITT's Pogo Pin/Pad and Breakaway technologies, which are designed to increase the maximum number of mating cycles to 10,000.
