ITT Cannon KPT/KPTC/KPSE Circular Connectors

ITT Cannon KPT/KPTC/KPSE Circular Connectors are ruggedized, reliable miniature devices designed to provide optimal performance in the harshest environments. These circular connectors are built as per MIL-DTL-26482 standards. The KPSE and KPTC are designed according to German VG95328 standards. The KPT/KPTC/KPSE circular connectors can operate within a temperature range from -55°C to +125°C with an insulation resistance of 5000MΩ. These circular connectors with a durability of 500 mating cycles are used in military vehicles, helicopters, industrial transports, mining/construction equipment, and commercial aerospace in-flight entertainment systems.

Features

General:

• Accurate alignment using 5-way polarization
• Available in crimp and solder tail versions (KPT and KPTC) and crimp contacts (KPSE)
• Exhaustive backshell options
• Quick connect and disconnect through bayonet coupling
• RoHS compliant
• Sealing up to IP67

Design:

• KPT series: A general-purpose connector that uses solder-type contacts, pre-installed and fixed with glue, VG-approved versions, optimal solution when small or prototype quantities are required
• KPSE series: Connectors with high-performance crimp-in contact system feature and insulator design for fast assembly and mass production applications.
• KPTC series: Connector series with crimp contacts for tool insertion or pre-installed solder contacts. The contacts are installed from the rear with an insertion tool and contact removal is done with an extraction tool from the front.
