Application note from ITT Interconnect Solutions

While transportation applications don’t often require special fluid resistance or sealing to the highest IP69 level, they do need high sealing grades up to IP67, which is provided by the Trident range, either in a plastic housing (standard), or metal for more demanding vehicle environments which need a robust solution. The availability of circular and rectangular designs, multiple pin configurations, plus a wide range of contact layouts and accessories makes Trident connectors suitable for many diverse applications - for example, dashboard signal and power, air conditioning and cooling, junction boxes and power train (engine/transmission) found in on- and off-road vehicles.

Trident connectors’ technical specification includes: layouts from 2 to 48 way including mixed power and signal; AWG 14 to 26 signal contacts; crimp, solder flow and power contacts; IP rating to IP67; and a wide range of circular and rectangular designs.
