Custom Cable Assemblies
Dynamic Custom Cable Assemblies
for Harsh Environments
ITT has been a world leader in designing
and manufacturing harsh environment
micro interconnects and cable assem-
blies for over fifty years. In addition, our
historical product and assembly expert-
ise dates back over 85 years to the
founding of the original ITT Cannon.
Today, we provide complete turnkey
cable assemblies for all of ITT’s micro
connector portfolio including: Cent Line
Interconnects, MDM series, M83513
Series, MEB series, MDM Mixed Signal
Packages, MT strip interconnects, micro
miniaturecircular MIK series, and our
high density Nano Connectors. Our
cable assembly expertise has allowed
ITT to develop innovative Six Sigma
driven manufacturing processes that
allows our customers a full breadth of
tight pitch cable assemblies in 0.100,
0.075, 0.050, and 0.025 contact spacing.
ITT’s harsh environment interconnects
and cable assemblies are used in the
most demanding applications and envi-
ronments. You will find our products in
such markets as: Aerospace, Defense
Electronics, Geophysical Exploration,
High Speed Computer Networking,
Industrial Automation, Medical
Electronics, Satellite and Space
Communications, and
Telecommunications. Our complete
interconnect solutions have flown on
every major Aircraft and Space platform
since the 1940’s. In fact, many aircraft
mechanics still refer to ITT Cannon con-
nector and cable assemblies as the
Aviation standard.
Our product portfolio has been devel-
oped and is continuing to be developed
to provide our customers with new and
better technologies that offer superior
system level performance while lowering
overall system level costs. Our corporate
culture in Six Sigma Methodologies
allows ITT to continuously challenge our
Engineering and Scientific professionals
to develop new processes and technolo-
gies in Material Science, Automation,
and Testing to ensure that our cus-
tomers get the best cost effective harsh
environment cable assemblies from ITT.
You should expect no less from an
Industry leader.
The following paragraphs highlight sev-
eral examples of interconnect cable
assemblies for various Market segments
that ITT services. These examples rep-
resent just a snapshot of the many cus-
tom micro interconnects or cable
assemblies that ITT can provide the
industry.
Custom Micro D and M83513
Interconnect cable
assemblies
As one of the original developers of the
Micro Interconnect technology, ITT has
been an industry innovator in providing
complete harsh environment cable
assemblies and stretching the state of
art in such areas as: Filtering, Hermetics,
moisturebarriers, High Speed and
Mixed Signal Packages, EMI suppres-
sion, and multiple cable types. Most of
ITT’s custom cable assemblies utilize our
standard Micro pin contact system.
However,ITT does use other types of
contact systems when manufacturing
mixed signal interconnect systems
where signal speed and power contacts
will be incorporated into a complete
cable assembly solution.
ITT manufactures complete cable
assemblies worldwide at locations in
Santa Ana California, Basingstoke UK,
and Nogales Mexico. The various engi-
neering and manufacturing centers of
excellence are utilized to best fit various
cable assembly and product platform
specialties to provide our customers
with the most cost effective solutions.
Space Grade Micro Interconnect
cable assemblies
ITT has been deciding and manufactur-
ing Space Rated interconnects and
cable assemblies since the beginning of
the US space Program in the mid 20th
century. Prior to the MIL DTL M83513
specification ITT had been qualified for
all NASA GSFC performance and speci-
fication requirements, on numerous
satellite and space launch systems. ITT’s
Engineering and Product teams have
over 200 years of combined experience
in design, manufacture, and test of
Space flight interconnects and cable
assemblies. Our expertise in material
science, manufacturing processes, out
gassing, testing and screening, Magnetic
permeability, and Cryogenics has given
ITT a tremendous understanding in
developing high reliability space system
interconnects and cable assemblies .
All of ITT’s Space rated micro intercon-
nect assemblies utilize ITT QPL M83513
connectors. These cable assemblies are
tested to meet the most stringent per-
formance requirements as outlined by
numerous NASA GSFC specifications.
Additional performance and test require-
ments beyond existing NASA GSFC
guidelines can always be tailored so that
additional custom test programs can be
incorporated.
