TE Connectivity RITS Interconnection System Connectors

TE's RITS Interconnection System Connectors offer easy wire termination method with higher productivity and reliability. Improved performance over IDC connector with enlarged contact area and chisel piercing design and provides a highly secure locking for cable-to-cable connection with lock lever design. The 4P connector is approved as the eCon industry standard connector.

The e-CON standard was developed in Japan in 2001 by a group of Japanese manufacturers in order to standardize connections from sensors to terminals. This standard is not under control of any standard organizations. Without the standard, each manufacturer had specified different connectors for terminations of sensors to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and end users had to prepare many different connectors and different tools. In order to improve this situation and create a user-friendly environment, Tyco Electronics has offered AMP RITS connectors as the standard interface connector for sensors. The 4-position RITS connector is approved as the industry standard connector.
