Reverse-bayonet derivatives of M5015 / VG95234 threaded connectors have long been preferred for their rapid mating and rugged resistance to vibration and shock in harsh-environment applications
Reverse-bayonet derivatives of M5015 / VG95234 threaded connectors have
long been preferred for their rapid mating and rugged resistance to vibration
and shock in harsh-environment applications such as military vehicles and
missile batteries. Now Glenair introduces an ultra-high-performance version of
the reverse-bayonet M5015 / VG95234 power connector called the Super ITS -
921. This series is designed for high-ampacity applications where low insertion
force LouverBand type contacts, rugged mechanical contact retention, broad
temperature tolerance, reduced size, and superior connector and wire sealing
are required.
Super ITS - 921 is an extremely durable and environmentally-sealed connector,
designed with its own set of high-density contact insert arrangements. Unlike
conventional 5015-type connectors designed for industrial and legacy aircraft
applications, the Super ITS - 921 offers uncompromised electrical, mechanical,
and environmental performance features such as precision-machined aluminum
alloy or stainless steel shells with 2000mating cycle lifespan, rigid thermoplastic
two-piece insulators, and machined, highly conductive copper alloy LouverBand
contacts. Designed for extremely harsh environments such as are found in military
defense applications, the Super ITS - 921 delivers contact and wire support from
#16 to 2/0 and 1mmq – 70mmq respectively.With ampacity up to 350 amps, and
a max working voltage of 2450 VCC / 1750 VCA, the Super ITS - 921 represents
the ultimate in mission-critical power interconnection. This power distribution
connector is fully tooled and available for immediate application.
