High Performance Micro Miniature
Connectors
The Standard of Six Sigma
When you specify a
Cannon microminiature
connector, you can rely on
a product designed,
developed, and manufac-
tured to the highest quali-
ty and reliability standards
in the industry. This tradi-
tion of excellence is
based on ITT’s corporate
culture of operating its
entire business under the
principles
of Six Sigma. At ITT, Six
Sigma is not just a quality
philosophy but a com-
plete corporate culture
that drives the entire busi-
ness. Our Value Based
Management and Value Based Product
Development systems are two corner-
stones of ITT that allows for the develop-
ment of both leadership and product
development principles, ensuring that the
correct industry leading products are
in all of our business portfolios.
Six Sigma Engineering
ITT, utilizing its six sigma tools and mul-
tiple lean initiatives, offers the most
experienced engineering design team in
ITT Cannon is a division of ITT Inc.
Developed first by Cannon in the 1960s,
Cannon's Micro Connector portfolio has
witnessed many product extensions
since then, and it remains the most
extensive in the industry, offering the
most reliable and cost effective range of
micro interconnect solutions. These
innovations have enabled ITT to provide
products and technologies to such
markets as:

Offering the broadest selections of stan-
dard and custom micro interconnect
solutions, ITT is the one stop source for
design, development, manufacturing,
and test of sophisticated multi channel
high density connectors. Our product
portfolio consists of rectangular, circular,
quick disconnect, high speed signal, fil-
ter, hermetic, mixed signal packages,
and strip style interconnects. Each prod-
uct has unique mechanical engagement
and locking mechanisms to meet the
demands of harsh environment applica-
tions. These products include our Centi
Line .100-inch and .075-inch center
spacing, the Micro line .050 inch center
spacing, and our Nano line of .025-inch
center contact spacing. All of ITT’s micro
connectors utilize our twist pin contact
the micro miniature interconnect field.
Using our systems approach, ITT contin-
ues to advance new interconnect tech-
nologies by developing advanced prod-
ucts including higher density Nano
0.025-inch spacing interconnects, Chip-
on-Flex filter connectors, flexible high
density circuits terminated directly to ITT
contacts, and innovative high speed
mixed signal connector configurations.
In conjunction
with our design
teams, ITT
operates a
world class test
lab offering
state of the art
capabilities in electronic, fiber optic, and
mechanical test expertise . Our certified
test engineers and technicians can
develop a specific test plan based on
our customer’s specific needs.
Additionally, our team is experienced in
providing test services and programs for
US DOD Defense electronics and Space
related programs.
Six Sigma Manufacturing
developed to the accepted market driven
lead times. These principles have
allowed ITT to become the market leader
ITT operates manufacturing facilities in
the United States, France, Germany,
Italy, Mexico, China, and the UK, all of

Cannon Microminiature Products
which have particular prod-
uct area strengths allowing
ITT to offer a truly global
footprint to our customers.
Our facilities are world class
and accommodate full verti-
cal integration with the latest
manufacturing technologies
including: automated and
robotic machining centers,
Super Market manufacturing
cells, Kanban pull systems,
and automated electrical,
mechanical, and optical test and inspection equipment. The
combination of our manufacturing strength and our advanced
manufacturing facilities allows ITT to offer products at market
driven prices. Our capabilities, especially in robotics, comput-
erized precision tooling, Kaizen Project Management, Six
Sigma tools, and test labs, gives ITT the most optimized global
manufacturing footprint in the interconnect industry.
The Custom Difference
As the industry leader in harsh
environment interconnect appli-
cations, ITT’s world class engi-
neering teams will work directly
with our customers to design and develop cost effective solu-
tions for their applications . In many cases we may modify
one of our standard designs to ensure a highly reliable solu-
tion where timing is critical. Yet, in those cases where a com-
plete custom interconnect solution is required, ITT will work
with our customer’s Engineers to design an interconnect solu-
tion which will be cost effective yet highly reliable. As profes-
sional consultants, our Engineering teams will provide a thor-
ough systems and mechanical analysis of any proposed solu-
tion. These analyses provide our customers with sophisticat-
ed electrical signal and mechanical charac-
terizations to determine the best solution for
their application.
In addition to custom
connectors, ITT offers
sophisticated custom
cable assembly capa-
bilities for a wide
range of harsh envi-
ronment applications.
Our in house expert-
ise translates to our ability to integrate differ-
ent technologies within a custom cable har-
ness. ITT's capabilities include discrete wire terminations to
multi wire cable harnesses with multiple connector configura-
tions as part of the final assembly. We also specialize in pro-
viding terminated flex circuit assemblies,
high temperature geophysical cable
assemblies, innovative medical electron-
ics cable assemblies, over mold strain
relief systems, and EMI shielded termina-
tions.
RoHS Compliance Information
ITT has implemented a strict
parts control plan for all ITT
electronics plants worldwide
that allows the Cannon Microminiature
connector product portfolio to meet the requirements of
European Union Directive 2002/95/EC better know as the
Reduction of Hazardous Substances initiative. To make things
easier for our customers, all Cannon Microminiature products
can be ordered with an R prefix number which insures our
customers will receive RoHS compliant parts for their commer-
cial electronics applications and equipment. Since most RoHS
hazardous substances center around specific metal plating
and lead solder coatings, ITT's products for RoHS compliance
are available in the following plating finishes: electroless nickel,
stainless steel, Anodize over aluminum and Gold plating. It
should be noted that gold plating
would be recommended as the
replacement for tin-lead solder
when ordering board mount con-
nectors.
Non Compliant RoHS Materials
Advanced Aerospace specifications and DOD system per-
formance requirements demand the necessity to maintain
production status for the primary base metals and Chem film
coatings typically utilized in Aerospace electronics. Thus, in
order to support ITT's Aerospace customer base and maintain
our
leadership position
in micro miniature con-
nector technologies,
ITT will continue to
provide interconnect
products with cadmium
plating and tin lead
solder in support of
these markets. These
materials are designed
to be comparable to
M83513.
Please consult Customer Service if RoHS part verification is
required.
