ITT Cannon CGE VG96929 High-Power Connectors

　　The ITT Cannon CGE Series is a range of single-pole circular connectors developed for high-current, low-voltage power transmission. Derived from the VG95234 reverse-bayonet connector design, the CGE Series is fully approved to the European VG96929 military standard and is designed for demanding military vehicle, heavy equipment and industrial power applications.

　　With rugged aluminum shells, high-conductivity contacts and a fast quarter-turn coupling system, CGE connectors provide secure electrical connections in environments exposed to vibration, moisture and extreme temperatures.

　　Key Features of ITT Cannon CGE Connectors

　　·High-current capability of approximately 900 A, depending on cable size, contact configuration, ambient temperature and system conditions

　　·Suitable for cables from 25 mm² to 240 mm²

　　·IPX8 sealing, tested at 1 bar water pressure for 16 hours

　　·Operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C

　　·Quarter-turn reverse-bayonet coupling

　　·Visual, audible and tactile indication of correct mating

　　·Minimum 500 mating cycles

　　·Crimp-contact and threaded-bolt termination options

　　·RoHS-compatible shell plating options

　　·Intermateable with other connectors manufactured to the VG96929 standard

　　CGE Connector Sizes and Cable Options

The actual current rating must be selected according to cable size, contact size and ambient-temperature derating. At an ambient temperature of 125°C, ITT Cannon specifies maximum current ratings ranging from 100 A for the H2 contact to 425 A for the H24 contact.

Available Connector Styles

The ITT Cannon CGE product family includes several mounting and cable-entry configurations:

·Wall-mount receptacles

·Box-mount receptacles

·Bulkhead receptacles

·Straight plugs

·90-degree plugs

·Cable-connecting plugs

Both socket and pin contact configurations are available. Selected versions can also be supplied with shielding, heat-shrink boot adapters, rear-panel mounting or threaded-bolt termination.

Rugged Construction for Harsh Environments

CGE connectors use two PTFE insulators and a spring-retention system that permits contact replacement while maintaining reliable mechanical retention. Copper or copper-alloy contacts with hard-silver finishes provide low contact resistance for high-current transmission.

Available shell finishes include VG-approved cadmium plating and RoHS-compatible zinc-cobalt or zinc-nickel alternatives. Depending on the selected finish, salt-spray resistance can reach up to 500 hours. The connectors are also tested for vibration at frequencies from 10 Hz to 2,000 Hz.

Typical Applications

ITT Cannon CGE VG96929 connectors are suitable for:

·Military and defense vehicles

·Vehicle starter and battery systems

·Heavy construction equipment

·Industrial machinery

·High-current power distribution

·Rugged mobile power systems

·Ground-support equipment

·Transportation and rail systems

Their combination of high-current capability, fast bayonet mating and environmental sealing makes them particularly suitable for power connections that must be installed or serviced quickly in demanding operating conditions.

How to Select an ITT Cannon CGE Connector

When selecting a CGE connector, consider the required cable cross-section, continuous current, short-time current load, mounting style, contact gender, termination method and shell finish.

The operating voltage specified in the CGE catalog is limited to 50 VAC or 75 VDC under the European Low Voltage Directive. Current capability must also be evaluated using the ITT Cannon derating curves rather than selecting a connector only by its maximum headline current.
