CA /MS A&B
ITT Cannon is the foremost manufac-
turer of MS and MS type connectors
with the widest range of connector
styles, sizes and variations in the
A ^{industry. These connectors utilize the}
finest materials, which, along with
precision manufacturing and rigid
quality control, assure ITT Cannon
customers of the finest quality con-
nectors. The MS A & B product line
has environmentally safe green and
black zinc alloy plating. The Black
zinc plating is RoHS complaint. The
plating is a high quality, uniform fin-
ish. The contact, which are preloaded
in the insulator, have been
redesigned such that the solder cups
remain in the proper orientation and
will not rotate during wiring termina-
tion. The contacts are machined for
strength and durability and plated
with silver. The Cannon MS A&B
design meets the performance
requirements of the MIL-C-5015. The
product is available in all the popular
sizes and configurations available in
Class A (solid end bell) and Class B
(split end bell) versions.
