New Contacts Provide Secure Mating, Increased Reliability for Variety of Applications...
ITT Enhances Stamped and Formed Contacts for Industrial, Transportation, Military Applications
SANTA ANA, CA - April 16, 2009 - ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects, and cable assemblies, has enhanced its stamped and formed Trident T2P contacts. The new contacts provide high-level alignment for secure mating, smooth and easy assembly and disassembly, and improved reliability, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.
"The original T2P contacts realized a lot of success, however some customers in the military arena were concerned about the reliability of the contact system for certain layouts and demanding cable harnesses," said Keith Teichmann, director of marketing for ITT Interconnect Solutions. "As such, we designed the new solution with significantly improved features, and the T2P contacts maintain full contact intermateability and interchangeability to all connectors compatible with the T2P contact. Now not only are the contacts used in industrial and transportation environments, but military applications as well."
The new stamped and formed T2P contacts virtually eliminate the need to replace damaged contacts due to misalignment issues. In sealed situations where a contact requires replacement, the new T2P design prevents damage to the grommet on removal or insertion (sealing is found on the Trident Neptune Series only).
The Trident T2P contacts are ideal for a wide range of industrial and transportation applications including robotic systems, camera equipment, automotive dashboards, cabin applications, junction boxes, power train (engine/transmission), and air conditioning and cooling systems. The contacts are also suitable for a variety of military applications.
The Trident T2P contacts are available in standard brass or high conductivity copper alloy body styles. Both versions offer tin, gold, or gold flash plating options, have a current rating of up to 16A, can accommodate wire sizes of 14-26 AWG, and boast a lifespan of up to 200 mating cycles.
Trident T2P contacts are compatible with all Trident products, including Ringlock, Neptune, Neptune Metal, Slimline, Snap Together, and Multiway. T2P contacts are also used in ITT's APD 6- and 7-way connectors.
Typical pricing for the T2P contacts ranges from $0.10 to $0.30 per contact depending on quantity and contact type. Lead time is from 4 to 6 weeks.
