ITT Cannon Trident Connector crimp contacts

Introducing the ITT Cannon’s series of Trident Connector crimp contacts now available from element14 Australia.

Tin plating is recommended for most applications (with 50 or fewer mating cycles). It is cost effective and matches well to most wires. Gold is preferred for special situations. Gold resists oxidation, has high surface conductivity and has a low coefficient of friction. These features make gold the preferred plating for low-level signals (a rule of thumb is <100 mA), corrosive environments (for unsealed connectors) and for increased mating cycles.

Crimp contacts offer improved electrical performance, strain relief and quality control compared to solder cup contacts. Solder cup contacts are recommended for low-volume and prototype applications where the added cost of crimp tools is not justified.

These high conductivity contacts use a different base material then the standard contacts and are recommended for high current applications. These contacts will also reduce the derating of connectors with several high current lines.
