ITT Interconnect Solutions' Circular Bayonet Databus Connector Enables Reliable Data Transmission in Mass Transit Systems
SANTA ANA, CA - ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects and cable assemblies, has developed a circular bayonet databus connector for reliable data transmission between rail cars. The CIR-M12 connector enables a variety of data types to be transmitted between cars in mass transit systems, including Ethernet, MVB, WTB and video lines.
"Customers in the mass transit market requested a connector solution that bundled multiple Ethernet and MVB lines into a single connector," said Keith Teichmann, director of marketing for ITT Interconnect Solutions. "The CIR-M12 connector allows designers to incorporate data transfer from Ethernet, MVB, WTB, and video lines according to VG95234 (where applicable), within the same connector, handling diverse data feeds such as engine diagnostics, brake controls, environmental conditioning, passenger display systems, networking and lighting control."
The CIR-M12 connector is comprised of ITT's Quadrax QXM12 contacts mounted into their proven FRCIR connector circular bayonet series hardware. Four conductor wires and the associated braid from shielded cables are integrated into the QXM12 contact, and a special plastic insert groups multiple QXM12 contacts and their cables into a singular connector.
The CIR-M12 databus connector contacts are rated at 3A (maximum current for 1ms is 10A), while operating voltage is 100Vdc and insulation resistance is 10GΩ. Mechanically, the insert conforms to UNI-CEI 11170 (I2F2) and UL94-V0 specifications, and is formed from thermoplastic material according to NFF16-101 - NFF16-102. The coupling gasket is made from silicone rubber and other parts are produced with flame retardant rubber. The metallic parts of the connector are comprised of RoHS-compliant aluminium alloy with black epoxy-urethanic varnish. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C.
Typical pricing for the CIR-M12 connector including plug, receptacle, and 4 male and female contacts is approximately $255. Lead time is from 8 to 10 weeks.
