This versatile and highly reliable connectors withstand most severe conditions. Olive drab chromate coating over cadmium plating protects the surface of connector series is an improvement on the well established the shell. A MIL-C-5015 series. CA-Bayonet has a proven reverse bayonet coupling design that offers exceptional vibration protection, by a Cannon offers two plating solutions to customers refusing simple 120 turn. cadmium plating. Zinc cobalt green offers similar properties like Initially designed for aircraft and airborne applications, these cadmium plating while zinc cobalt black is RoHS compliant. rugged connectors are used in the electrical equipment of vari- Over 180 contact arrangements are available for 1 to 65 circuits ous off-road vehicles, construction machinery, industrial devices, and up to 245 A per unit. railroad and military wheelers. The insulators are made of high quality polychloroprene and Connectors in accordance with VG95234 are interchangeable withstand temperatures from -67/+257F (-55/125C). This with the corresponding MIL-C-5015 connectors. Both connector material is self-extinguishing, resistant against hydraulic fluids, lines feature the same shell dimensions and contacts layouts. jet fuel, diesel fuel, gasolines, lubricants, brake and fire How ever, due to the different coupling systems (MIL-C-5015 extinguisher fluids (short wetting only). In case of lifetime threaded coupling, VG95234 bayonet coupling) they are not moistening ITT Cannon offers FKM insulators as an alternative. intermateable. The contacts are made of copper alloy plated with a hard silver Advantages finish guarantee at least 500 mating cycles. There are solder, crimp and PCB contacts in place. The crimp contacts offer a rugged shell design comprehensive range of termination reductions. All solder environmental contacts feature a special passivation to comply with ROHS bayonet coupling for easy mating and unmating requirements. The crimp contacts allow highly reliable crimping vibration proof with wires when using the recommended tools according to waterproof up to 1 bar (35 feet of water) VG95234. Crimp contacts can be exchanged at least five times Cannon has the complete VG95234 program available and, in ad- still preserving specified contact retention. dition, many other types which exceed the requirements of The coupling unit is featured by the Cannon roller bolts made VG95234 and MIL-C-5015. of stainless steel actually rolling down the mating ramps, thus Attention: reducing coupling force by the operator. In addition, the Metal shell connectors which may be touched are not Cannon design employs two coupling nut versions for different suitable for mains power. application cases, with and without wavespring and washer. The version without wavespring guarantees perfect sealing while the other version stands up to high vibration levels. The bayonet design allows fast and easy coupling and Restrictions: uncoupling.
