Overview
What is an ITT Cannon assembly?
An ITT Cannon cable assembly is cable terminated in connectors from ITT Cannon, the brand that introduced the D-subminiature connector. Its range includes D-sub and Micro-D rectangular connectors, 38999-style circular connectors and other rugged circulars, many made to military specifications. Removable crimp contacts, sealing grommets and threaded or bayonet coupling make them a long-standing choice for aerospace, defense, rail and industrial equipment.
- D-sub, Micro-D and circular styles
- Removable crimp contacts
- Threaded or bayonet coupling
- Backshells for strain relief and shielding
Features
Built for vibration, shock and weather
Rugged connectors earn their reliability in the details: how contacts are retained, how the shell couples and seals, and how the cable is supported behind it.
-
Removable crimp contacts
Contacts are crimped to each wire, inserted from the rear and held by retention clips, so one circuit can be reworked without replacing the connector.
-
Coupling and keying
Threaded and bayonet coupling rings draw the halves fully together and resist loosening under vibration, while keyways stop mismatched plugs from mating.
-
Environmental sealing
On sealed versions, rear grommets seal around each wire and interfacial seals close the mating face, keeping moisture and contaminants away from the contacts.
-
Backshells and shielding
Backshells clamp the cable, support the wires behind the connector and terminate the shield braid all the way around the shell, helping keep out interference.
Capabilities
Our ITT Cannon assembly capabilities
Rugged connectors only perform as well as the work behind them. Each step is carried out in our own factories and checked against your drawing.
Crimping with positioners
Contacts crimped with tools and positioners matched to each contact type and size, then checked against your crimp requirements.
Contact insertion
Each contact inserted with the correct tool until it locks, checked for retention, with unused cavities filled by sealing plugs where required.
Backshell fitting
Backshells and strain reliefs fitted and torqued to your drawing, with cable shields terminated to the backshell.
Protective jacketing
Heat-shrink boots, braided sleeving and jacketing applied to suit the abrasion, fluids and temperatures the assembly will face.
Connector and contact sourcing
Genuine ITT Cannon connectors, contacts and backshells sourced through our supply network, with approved equivalents only where your drawing allows.
Test and inspection
Continuity, insulation resistance and any further electrical or mechanical tests set out in the plan agreed in your quote.

Applications
Where ITT Cannon assemblies are used
ITT Cannon connectors are specified where a failed connection is costly and equipment must keep working through vibration, shock and weather.
Aerospace
Avionics boxes, cabin systems and ground support equipment where weight and vibration matter.
Defense
Vehicle, communications and field equipment cables built to the specification your program sets.
Rail and transit
Rolling-stock equipment and signaling connections facing constant vibration, dust and weather.
Energy
Instrument and control cabling for oil, gas and power generation equipment on harsh sites.
Industrial machinery
Motor, sensor and control connections on machines that see shock, coolant and frequent servicing.
Test equipment
D-sub and circular interface cables for test stations, data acquisition and ground test rigs.
Quality
Quality built into every connection
Quality is designed into the process rather than inspected in at the end. Every program follows the same four steps, in an ISO-certified manufacturing environment.
Agree the specification
We review your drawing, materials and acceptance criteria with you before anything is built.
Prove the first article
A prototype or first article confirms fit, form and function before production starts.
Build to documented processes
Production follows documented work instructions at every step, from cutting to final assembly.
Test before it ships
Every order is tested against the plan agreed in your quote before it leaves the factory.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Can't find your answer? Send us your drawing and questions, and our engineers will come back to you.
Which ITT Cannon connector types can you build with?
We build with ITT Cannon D-subminiature and Micro-D connectors, 38999-style circular connectors and other circular and rectangular series named on your drawing. Send the full connector part numbers, including contact and backshell callouts, and our engineers will confirm the parts and tooling needed.
Can you build assemblies to military or aerospace specifications?
Tell us the specifications your assembly must meet, including wire types, materials, marking and testing, and we will specify components and build to them. Our engineers review the drawing and specification with you before quoting, and every order is tested to the plan agreed in your quote.
Do you supply backshells and accessories with the assembly?
Yes. Backshells, strain reliefs, boots, dust caps and sealing plugs can all be supplied and fitted as part of the assembly. If your drawing names specific accessories, we use them. If not, our engineers can suggest options for strain relief, shielding and sealing.
How are ITT Cannon cable assemblies tested?
Testing follows the plan agreed in your quote. Typical checks include continuity and pin-to-pin mapping, insulation resistance between circuits and to the shell, contact retention, coupling and backshell checks, and visual inspection against your drawing, all completed before shipment.
