ITT Interconnect Solutions Develops the Industry's First 150°C Fully-Sealed RoHS Signal Connector
Metr1x connectors provide 100% signal integrity, meet IP69K for harsh environment applications...
SANTA ANA, CA - ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects, and cable assemblies, has developed the industry's first fully-sealed (IP69K) RoHS compliant high-temperature signal connector. The high reliability Metr1x Series is designed to provide 100% signal integrity in extremely harsh environments as well as increased functionality and vibration resistance in complex thermodynamic conditions. The Metr1x Series is available in different housing variations to suit applications as diverse as heavy diesel or gas engines, agricultural machinery, power generating units and industrial automation to defense systems and robotics.
Metr1x Series connectors operate at 100VDC with a current rating of 4A and provide complete EMI shielding. Devices conform to UL94-V0. The stainless steel design, sealed to IP69K standards, remains fully dry and functional even in conditions involving heavy salt spray, engine oil, diesel, kerosene and similar noxious fluids. Proven in temperatures up to 150degC, Metr1x Series connectors withstand vibration up to 20G and shock to a maximum of 50G, protecting vital signals particularly during combustion control and regulation procedures.
"ITT developed the Metr1x connector drawing on expertise gained through our successful Quadrax military/aerospace grade devices and QXM12 mass transit connectors. "No other connector on the market can currently meet these performance specifications within such a small housing," said Patrick Bauer, Global Metr1x Product Manager at ITT.
Available in multiple receptacle variations, the Metr1x Series connectors feature CGK size 20 contacts. The mating face adheres to M12 industry standards and allows 2-, 3- or 4-way versions and standard cable configurations. Special screw-in variants allow for direct replacement of cable gland configurations and optional end bells are available. A crimped housing eliminates cable overstressing and provides sealing up to IP68 (water ingress protections of a minimum 2 hours when immersed in up to 4m depth).
