In the field, connectors are handled with gloves, under load, and often under pressure. They must mate cleanly, disconnect instantly, and operate without shutting systems down. ITT Cannon’s MKJ Warrior Series is engineered for exactly that environment. Featuring a robust push-pull breakaway coupling, it enables reliable operation in demanding soldier-worn applications. Available in 6-pin and 7-pin layouts with size 23 contacts, MKJ Warrior supports standard contacts rated at 5A or high-power contacts rated at 10A. With a minimum of 2000 mating cycles, it is built for repeated use in mission-critical systems. Its First-Mate-Last-Break contact design ensures the ground connection engages first and disconnects last, enabling safe hot-swap USB performance under live power conditions. Finished in black-zinc nickel with selective electroless nickel plating for enhanced conductivity, the MKJ Warrior Series is qualified to US Nett Warrior, GOSSRA, and NATO STANAG 4695 requirements.
