Circular Connectors

KPSE 26482-Style Series I / VG95328

Designed to be comparable with MIL-DTL-26482 specifications, Cannon’s KPSE miniature circular connectors feature a positive three point bayonet coupling, five-keyway polarization and high insert arrangement contact density. KPSE series high-performance crimp connectors also offer a “clip-in” contact and insulator design and is optimized for fast assembly and high-volume production environments. KPSE connectors are intermateable with most connectors and accessories manufactured to MIL-DTL-26482 and VG95328 standards. These ruggedized, highly engineered connectors are designed for durability and reliability in harsh environment applications like military vehicles and helicopters, industrial transports and commercial aerospace in-flight entertainment systems.

KPT 26482-Style Series I

Cannon’s KPT miniature circular connector series are modeled after 26482-style connectors and feature positive three-point bayonet coupling, five-keyway polarization and high insert arrangement contact density. KPT series general-purpose connectors use solder-type contacts and are the go-to solution when small or prototype quantities are required. These ruggedized, mini-circular connectors are engineered for reliability and durability in harsh environment applications.

MS E & R

MS E, R, and F connectors are similar to the MS A & B series, but feature resilient insulators and wire sealing grommets for extreme environmental conditions and high altitude sealing. The contacts are bonded to the insulator, and the insulator to the shell, for superior environmental sealing. The MS-R series offers a shorter, lighter weight endbell without the cable clamp. Both MS-F and MS-R connectors feature o-rings to suppliment the interfacial seal. Shells are aluminum alloy and generally plated with OD Cadmium or RoHS-compliant black zinc nickel. The MS E, R, and F series are also available with crimp contacts using modification code F80 after the description.

MS A & B

Manufactured to MIL-C-5015 specifications, MS A & B series general duty circular connectors house plastic insulators and are designed to maintain machined solder cup contact orientation. Shell components are fabricated from high-grade aluminum alloy, providing a robust solution for unsealed applications. Contacts are machined for strength and durability and plated with silver to maintain signal integrity. Shells are plated with an environmental green or RoHS-compliant black zinc nickel plating.

Veam CIR & FRCIR

The Veam CIR and FRCIR series are cost-effective, highly engineered industrial circular connectors ideal for exterior exposure and transportation applications. These broad series of connectors are available in 256 layouts, with a wide range of accessories.

CA Bayonet (VG95234)

Cannon’s CA Bayonet is a versatile and extremely reliable connector series. This solution features a proven “reverse bayonet” coupling design for exceptional resistance to vibration. Designed to VG95234 specifications, CA Bayonet connectors are ideal for a wide variety of applications and are available in a number of RoHS-compliant plating options.
