MKJ Series Connectors
The Challenge
ITT has a long history of providing standard and custom MIL-DTL-38999 connectors which meet the most stringent military requirements.
ITT’s major military and commercial accounts recently approached us requesting that we take our proven high reliabilty designs and shrink them
to decrease weight and size while maintaining the connectors robust environmental performance and high reliability. Along with these requests,
ICS received substantial commentary from other markets including Medical, Industrial, and Space, requesting a similar, miniature circular product.
Split tine contact design provides proven
reliability in harsh environments
Connector uses size 23 contacts
accepting #22 to #28 wire. Contact
spacing is reduced to 0.076 inches
providing a compact yet robust package.
Mini Circular
B
MKJ connector provides significant size
and weight reduction while providing
electrical and mechanical characteristics
of larger connectors
Master key and 2 secondary keys allow
multiple clocking positions
Intergral band platform allows direct
attachment of cable shield to connector.
Pogo pin/pad technology. Touch pad
contacts increase ease of cleanability,
highly desireable in harsh environments.
Double start threads prevent thread
damage and allow full connector mating
in 1.5 turns. Durable design ideal for
harsh shock and vibration environments.
Breakaway design incorporates a simple
push/pull mating mechanism allowing
quick connector disconnect.
The ITT Solution …
ITT took on the challenge, driving innovation in mating capabilities and contacts to reduce size and weight while maintaining the high
level of quality customers have come to expect from ITT over 90 years of engineering excellence. ITT collated a substantial amount of industry
VOC from top tier military and commercial accounts. This feedback arrived from industry leading ICS customers, pioneering products in
their fields including satellites & missiles, test and medical equipment, and tactical battlefield gear. Using this information and leveraging
our historical product expertise, ITT engineered a product meeting our customers defined mix of Design, Functionality, and Flexibility. The
result of this process represents our innovative new product line, Trinity. Offering three coupling methodologies {threaded, bayonet, and
breakaway} and a highly engineered design, this innovative product reduces weight and size without sacrificing robust environmental
performance or reliability. ITT ICS is proud to introduce our exciting new Trinity product line, engineered to the stringent quality
standards for which ITT is world renown.
