SANTA ANA, Calif. - August 1, 2006 - Design engineers in the aerospace, hydrospace and special project industries can now specify custom connectors and assemblies from ITT, Electronic Components, shortening project development time. ITT has pioneered the development of special purpose electrical connectors designed for harsh environment and mission-critical applications in the military, aerospace and hydrospace industries, including special release connectors, bulkhead and hull-penetrating connectors and custom cable assemblies.
"With 90 years of experience, ITT is an industry leader for custom-designed connectors and cable assemblies for extreme environments - pressure, temperature, vibration or shock," said Domenick Lecce, product manager for ITT, Electronic Components. "Our products are highly engineered and custom designed for complex applications requiring special features, high reliability and rigorous testing procedures."
ITT's special release connectors for aerospace applications feature special umbilical and lanyard release functions that automatically disconnect at the time of system launch. These connectors can incorporate both pneumatic and electrical lines in the same assembly and are ideal for interstage separation, weapons storage and pylon applications.
Special connector capabilities for harsh undersea applications include custom connectors for submarine sonar sets; wet mateable connectors and umbilical cable assemblies for hull-mounted sonar arrays; lanyard-release connectors and umbilical cable assemblies for torpedo tube-launch missile systems; header assemblies for sonar system canisters; hull and missile tube penetrations; and complete set for surface ship launch systems.
ITT's custom connectors and assemblies are specified in a number of major aerospace and hydrospace programs, including the Patriot and Tomahawk missiles, the Delta IV Launch Vehicle, the International Space Station and the CVN-78 aircraft carrier scheduled to launch in 2015. The custom service includes rapid prototyping from ITT's comprehensive model shop and complete in house testing from ITT's fully approved product evaluation lab.
