RUGGED 5015 CONNECTOR FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS

ITT Cannon CA series MIL-DTL-5015 connectors feature a threaded coupling mechanism and are manufactured to MIL-DTL-5015 for use in very harsh environments. ITT Cannon CA Series heavy-duty 5015 connectors were originally designed as aerospace components and are popular, cost-effective, rugged commercial and military connectors. Hundreds of contact layouts are available, including common 2-pin connectors, 3-pin connectors, 4-pin connectors, 12-pin connectors, and 16-pin connector types. The ITT Cannon CA series is a waterproof 5015 connector that is completely sealed to withstand condensation, vibration, and flash-over.

Features

• Full Military Temperature Range
  CT connectors will operate in temperatures from -55° to +125°C (-67° to +257°F) under the harshest possible conditions.
• Wide Range of Wire Gauges and Current Carrying Capability
  Up to 150 amps with wire gauges from size 26 up to size 0 AWG wire.
• Resilient Insulator & Grommet
  A resilient polychloroprene insulator and rear-sealing grommet guarantees a liquid-tight assembly. Crimp contacts can be inserted and removed a minimum of five cycles for field service.
• Wide Variety of Contacts
  High reliability screw machine contacts with silver or gold plating are available in sizes from 20 through 0 to accommodate wire gauges from 26 to 0 AWG. Solder, crimp, PC, and Thermocouple contacts are available.
• Rugged Shell
  Aluminum alloy shell and hardware create a rugged connector with minimal weight. These connectors have been used extensively in the military for many years and have proven their reliability in a wide range of combat and industrial applications.
• Environmental
  Vibration proof and water proof. Will perform in the full range of MIL-DTL-5015 environments.
• Standard Shielding Interface
  CT connectors meet requirements for MIL-DTL-5015 E/F/R styles of connectors. The threaded coupling provides superior EMI/RFI shielding without the need for special grounding spring components required for shielding bayonet style connectors. The threaded coupling nuts are used extensively in robotic applications where connector and cables rock continually. The standard CT coupling nuts contain holes for lock wires used in high-vibration or security applications.
• Sealed Receptacles
  All CT solder receptacles have inserts and contacts bonded in place in accordance to the MIL-DTL-5015 specifications. These receptacles are sealed and their air leakage rate is not greater than one atmospheric cubic inch per hour (4.55 x 10-3 cubic centimeters per second) through the interface. Gaskets and seal screws are used to seal the panel and protect from leaks around the connectors.
• High Performance, Low Cost
  Originally designed to the first military specification – Tri-Service connector for the Army, Air Force and Navy– these connectors are now widely used in industrial applications. These threaded connectors are easy to specify, purchase and assemble, providing long service life for applications needing minimum maintenance. PEI-Genesis assembles these in days to reduce the user's total cost of ownership.

Electrical Data

Operating Voltage/Test Voltage According to MIL-DTL-5015

The indicated values for the Operating Voltage are limits concerning the electrical function. In any case when the working voltage exceeds 50V, safety precautions must be in accordance with the following standards: VDE 0100, IEC 309-1 or applicable national standards.

NOTE: High Voltage Cartridge Contacts are available. These cartridges are used in either size 8 or 4 contact cavities using 20 AWG contact rated 7.5 amps max and working voltages up to 5000 Vdc - 3500 Vac.

Current Rating at 68°F (+20°C)

**Maximum total current to be carried per connector in wire bundles as specified in MIL-W-5088. Contact resistance, when tested to MIL-C-39029 will not exceed voltage drops listed in above table.

NOTE: CB and CT current rating are tested differently. Please contact us for information.

Mechanical

NOTE: CT/CA/MS receptacle contacts are bonded into the insulator.
