HARSH-ENVIRONMENT SNAP LOCK CONNECTORS
The ITT Cannon Snap Lock Environmental series (SLE) is an environmentally sealed, rectangular connector created for printed circuit board (PCB), cable-to-cable or bulkhead applications. SLE snap lock connectors are suitable for demanding under-the-hood applications and are easy to assemble with an audible and tactile feedback. Snap lock connectors will handle up to 5 amps continuous at a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. SLE snap lock connectors are available as a 19 or 28 pin connector. For full details on ITT Cannon SLE Snap Lock connectors, see the product specifications below.
Features
- Rectangular Connector Bodies
The SLE snap lock connector's rectangular design is ideally suited for easy printed circuit board (PCB) layouts for both straight off-the-board and right angle applications, since the contacts are precisely arranged in rows.
- Keyable Connector Bodies
Four simple, slotted keys and keyways are supplied with the connectors to allow the user to key connector halves. This prevents connectors of the same shell size, mounted in close proximity to each other, from being mated with the incorrect connector and damaging the sophisticated electronic controls modules.
- Clamshell-Style Plug Cable Clamps for any Cable Orientation
Plug cable clamps are ordered as part of the connector and are available in five different styles: up, down, right, left and straight cable exits. This saves space and allows for easy mating in crowded under-the-hood environments. See Create Part Number for more details.
- Strong Connector Snap Locks
Snap locks are located at either end of the SLE connector. These locks are molded into the connector bodies and lock the halves together when mated. To unmate, just depress the snap locks simultaneously and pull the halves apart.
