RITS three-way connectors offer high reliability under shock and vibration conditions

TE Connectivity's RITS (Remote Input/Output Terminal System) plug and socket connectors have a high-density 2mm centreline designed for use as the standard interface connector for sensors. They are available now from RS Components. The four-way RITS connector is approved as an industry standard connector. They feature an integrated locking lever for a secure wire to wire connection and can be pulled through a partly jammed wiring duct. An audible click provides certainty of positive mating. The RITS plug connectors feature Chisel Press Contacts. The chisel part of the contact penetrates the wire to form a large contact area, no prior wire preparation is needed. The press part of the contact retains the contact pressure. Two points of contact offer high contact reliability including under conditions vibration and shock. The cable retention mechanism on the contact maintains the wire with a higher retention force than traditional IDC connectors. The housings of these connectors are colour-coded to show wire size and are semi-transparent offering visual inspection of the connection. These connectors enable terminations to be made quickly and easily with increased electrical reliability.
