The Marine Bronze Connectors from leading global connector manufacturer and supplier ITT Interconnect Solutions are a robust series of products specifically developed for extremely harsh underwater environments. With a proven heritage of over twenty years, CIR Marine Bronze interconnects meet IP67 specifications when mated and are manufactured from an aluminium-bronze alloy of iron, nickel, manganese and lead, making them extremely corrosion resistant, essential in naval applications such as ships and submarines.

Available in three styles: CIR (VG95234 Bayonet loc); VE-VS (MIL-DTL-5015 Threaded); and VGE (VG96929 series): waterproof and corrosion resistant for extreme environments

ITT ICS Marine Bronze connectors are fully RoHS compliant and are available in three different types: CIR Marine Bronze Bayonet, VE-VS Marine Bronze Threaded which conforms to MIL-DTL-5015, and the VGE series (VG96929). In addition, customised CIR Marine Bronze connectors are available for one-off applications. Operating over a functional temperature range of -55deg.C to +125deg.C, CIR Marine Bronze interconnects are available in the same wide range of sizes and contact arrangements as standard CIR connectors and offer the same electrical characteristics. They are available with 1 to 159 poles and with cable sections ranging from 0.15 to 107 mm².

CIR Marine Bronze Bayonet lock CIR interconnects are produced in accordance with NATO standard VG95234 and offer fast coupling/uncoupling with a “snap-in” lock which provides audible verification of correct coupling. Resistant to shock and vibration, CIR Marine Bronze connectors are waterproof to 10m for up to 12 hours for classes with specified grommets and gaskets. The design has no thread to gall and bind, so connection integrity is unaffected by contaminants such as dust and sand. They can be mated/unmated up to 2000 mating cycles.

ITT ICS’ Marine Bronze VGE series high current connectors conform to the VG 96929 classification for the transmission of high power at a low voltage level. They have the same coupling features, mechanical data and panel mounting dimensions as ITT ICS standard CIR connectors. Applications include military field equipment, ships and other sea-going vessels.
MIL-DTL5015 VE-VS Marine Bronze Threaded interconnects are cylindrical multi-pole connectors which feature silver or gold-plated copper alloy solder or crimp contacts.
