Ruggedized Electrical Power and Signal Connectors Plus Cable and Conduit Systems for Rail, Mass Transit, Industrial and Military Applications

Milan Tram Glenair manufactures a broad range of qualified electrical power and signal connectors for electrical vehicles, industrial equipment, as well as rail, mass-transit and harsh environment military applications. Many of the connector products, backshells and accessories are manufactured to comply with the MIL-DTL-5015 or MIL-DTL-26482 specifications, which include hundreds of versatile power and signal connector designs ideally suited for electrical power and signal interconnect cabling. The addition of reverse bayonet coupling to these robust military style connectors improves their reliability and mating performance in rugged, MRAP vibration and shock applications. Glenair is also able to offer many of these same connector families qualified to NATO and VG standards including VG95234 and VG95328. Specialty application connectors, such as our popular VG qualified CB connector for radio and audio applications are also available.

The Glenair Power Product Group has been manufacturing these products since 1985 in the company's facility located in Bologna, Italy. Tesla The Power Product Group factory consists of two 4000 square meter plants in Villanova and Fossatone which are certified to UNI EN ISO 9001, NATO AQAP110 and ISO 9001:2000.

A worldwide sales and support network, including dedicated teams in Italy and the United States provides application engineering and order assistance. Glenair’s worldwide network of sales and support professionals are also factory trained to support the Power Product Groups entire line of ruggedized electrical power and signal connectors, cables and power distribution products.

The Glenair Power Product Group Line

	ITS The Glenair ITS connector series is based on the MIL-DTL-5015 standard, but feature an improved reverse bayonet coupling technology in place of the threaded coupling used in MIL-DTL-5015. The 3-point bayonet coupling mechanism reduces coupling time and provides easier mating when the connector is in an awkward position. Positive locking of the three stainless steel pins provides reliable resistance to vibration and shock, and prevents connector de-coupling in even the most rugged applications such as locomotives, mass-transit cars and military vehicles. The products are qualified to the VG 95234 standard. The ITS-RG Series incorporates a ruggedized outer coating of rubber for additional mechanical strength and to prevent shell damage due to rough handling.
	ITH The ITH Series is most notable for its rigid inserts and crimp contacts that provide both better electrical insulation as well as reduced assembly time. The reverse bayonet ITH Series connector is also based on the MIL-DTL-5015 standard, but supports only a reduced selection of insert arrangements. All connectors in the series conform to the NATO VG95234, French (NFF 61030) and British (BS 6853) electrical standards, as well as EEC compliance directives for electromagnetical compatibility. EMI shield termination accessories are available for both overall as well as individual wire shields.
	IPT and IPT SE Bayonet-Lock Connectors The Glenair IPT series is built in accordance with MIL-C-26482 and is applied in countless applications where reliability and miniaturization are required. Used in military applications, the IPT series features reliable coupling and a complete range of backshell accessories. A VG qualified version of the product, VG95328 is also available.
	VG95234 The VG95234 is the German military BWB standard equivalent of our commercial ITS reverse bayonet connector. As with the ITS, the series is based on the MIL-DTL-5015 standard, but feature an improved reverse bayonet coupling. The 3-point bayonet mechanism reduces coupling time and provides easier mating when the connector is in an awkward position. Positive locking of the three stainless steel pins provides reliable resistance to vibration and shock, and prevents connector de-coupling in even the most rugged applications such as military vehicles.
	VG95328 Qualified Bayonet-Lock Connectors The Glenair Series VG95328 Bayonet-Lock Signal Connector is ideally suited for all general and environmental applications that require a high-performance military type cylindrical connector with crimp-removable contacts. Qualified to VG95328, the bayonet mechanism provides fast and easy coupling, especially when the connector is situated in an awkward or hard to reach location.
	IGE Our IGE series connector delivers outstanding performance in high-current power applications, mainly in military systems such as ground-vehicle support. IGE series connectors are are used for the transmission of high currents with low voltage such as is required in military vehicles or industrial equipment. The connector uses a unipolar contact junction with high performance dielectric materials. Several O-rings inside and outside the connectors provide watertightness up to 1 bar, while the bayonet coupling system avoids accidental unmatings in high-vibration applications.
	UniPower™ UniPower™ is a single pole electrical connector used by the entertainment, construction and power utility industries for temporary high current applications. Glenair UniPower™ Power Distribution Connectors provide safe and reliable power distribution connections, typically in threephase or other polyphase power distribution systems. CE Approved for use in Europe only. Consult factory for other regional approvals.
	CB Series "PogoPin" Connectors The Glenair CB connector is designed to address audio equipment and field radio interconnect requirements in military and other demanding applications. The ultra-miniature reverse bayonet connector utilizes spring-loaded, wiping contacts that ensure reliable electrical and environmental performance with each mating. The product is qualified to the VG95351 and VG96934 standards.
	IT The Glenair IT series conforms to the MIL-DTL-5015 threaded-coupling connector standard for power and signal applications in both industrial and military applications. Insert arrangements from 1 to 150 contacts, with contact sizes from 20 awg to 4/0 awg are available. These connectors are intermateable with other industry standard MIL-DTL-5015 connector families. A wide range of connector backshells and accessories are available, including protective covers for both plugs and receptacles.
	ITZ The need for a threaded MIL-DTL-5015 type connector with an improved double-start stub ACME style thread profile led to the development of the Glenair ITZ connector series. Available in the complete range of 5015 insert arrangements, this connector family offers faster and more reliable coupling than standard, fine-thread MIL-DTL-5015 connectors.
	CSOX CSOX is a worldwide standard for the connection of lightning equipment in the show-business field.
	Related Glenair Wire Protection and Grounding Solutions Glenair manufactures a broad range of related electrical power and signal interconnect cable products including EMI/RFI Conduit, Junction Boxes, Braiding and Shield Termination Systems.
