Introduction to KPSE /KPT /KPTC
ITT Cannon’s KPSE / KPT and KPTC series of miniature positive bayonet locking
connectors offer a range of high-density signal solutions. They are designed
according to MIL-DTL-26482 Series I or VG95328 – details below. Next to the
original use in military vehicles these connector series have become a standard
for Industrial uses as eg. off-road vehicles, sensors, factory equipment and other
heavy industry applications.
All three product lines have specific characteristics and provide a set of unique variants, however, all lines are
fully intermateable with each other as well as any other connector series designed to MIL-DTL 26482 Series I
or VG95238 standards.

KPSE
is the high-performance crimp contact solution featuring a
clip-in retention system for fast and simple assembly. ITT Cannon
is approved to offer this line with VG marking according to
VG95328.
Common features of KPSE / KPT / KPTC:
➤
Intermateability with all product lines designed
to MIL-DTL-26482 Series I
➤
Environmental sealing to IP67 and IP68
➤
½ turn positive bayonet coupling for quick mating
& unmating
➤
Shielded backshell accessories
➤
A range of RoHS compliant plating alternatives to
Cadmium including Nickel, Zinc Nickel and Zinc
Cobalt versions
➤
Customizing options
KPT
is the first of two general duty series, and equipped with
solder pot contacts and glued in contacts. This makes this product
ideal for any prototype solution as well as for military
vehicle applications based on the MIL-DTL-268482 Series I
standard.
KPTC
is the second ITT Cannon general duty series with either
crimp or solder pot contact versions. In comparison this series
comes with a simpler design and avoids the high-performance
clip-in solution of KPSE as well as the glued contact assembly
of KPT which makes this line a good choice for many Industrial
applications.
Both KPTC as well as KPT add typical Industrial back shells to
their portfolio.

KPSE
uses a three piece insulator stack up consisting of
1 - rubber insulator
2 - plastic wafer / retaining clips
3 - ubber grommet to seal individual wires
4 - two piece machined contact with retaining clip
Rubber insulator (1) and grommet (3) together with the front sealing ring provide
the sealing in mated condition as well as the sealing of individual wires protruding
through the grommet.
Contact retention is provided using a two piece contact with retaining clip. The stiff
plastic wafer or individual metal clips provide the specified contact retention. A good
tactile response is given when contacts are pushed in the final assembly position.
Contacts are installed from the rear by hand or with an insertion tool to ease assembly.
Contact removal is done with an extraction tool from the front.

2 - rubber grommet to seal individual wires
3 - one piece machined contact
Rubber insulator (1) and grommet (2) together with the front sealing ring provide the
sealing in mated condition as well as the sealing of individual wires protruding through
the grommet.
Contact retention is provided by form fit of the machined contact in the rubber
insulator. Additionally, glue is applied to secure contacts in the exact mounting
position. KPT is equipped with solder pot contacts only and pre installed by the factory.
