CA3106E24-28S-B ITT Cannon 24-Position CA Bayonet Plug
CA3106E24-28S-B is a 24-position straight cable plug from the ITT Cannon CA Bayonet connector series. It uses 24 size 16 female socket contacts with solder-cup terminations and a 24-28 insert arrangement.
The connector combines a reverse-bayonet locking mechanism with an aluminum shell, resilient CR-elastomer insert, cable-clamp endbell and telescoping bushing. It is designed for multi-circuit signal, control and moderate-current connections exposed to vibration, moisture, dust and mechanical shock.
ITT Cannon CA Bayonet connectors use established MIL-C-5015 contact arrangements and were developed in accordance with VG95234 requirements.
Core Advantages
Twenty-four size 16 socket contacts provide high circuit density for signal and control wiring
Solder-cup termination supports custom cable construction without separate crimp-contact tooling
Reverse-bayonet coupling and environmental sealing provide reliable operation under vibration and moisture

The 24-circuit arrangement is suitable for equipment that requires multiple control, monitoring, interlock or moderate-current circuits through one connector.
Typical circuit groups may include:
Motor and actuator controls
Sensor and limit-switch signals
Relay and solenoid connections
Power-supply monitoring
Vehicle lighting and control circuits
Equipment status and alarm circuits
Industrial control I/O
Ground and protective interlock circuits
The final contact assignment should be recorded on the equipment wiring diagram or cable assembly drawing.
Mating Connector Selection
CA3106E24-28S-B is a plug fitted with female socket contacts. The mating connector must use the same 24-28 insert arrangement with male pin contacts.
Common mating styles include:
| Mating model | Connector type |
|---|---|
| CA3100E24-28P-B | Wall-mount receptacle with male solder contacts |
| CA3102E24-28P-B | Box-mount receptacle with male solder contacts |
| CA3101E24-28P-B | Cable-connecting receptacle with male solder contacts |
The exact mating number may change according to termination, shell finish, polarization, endbell and environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
CA3106E24-28S-B is suitable for multi-circuit connections in:
Industrial machinery
Railway equipment
Construction vehicles
Agricultural equipment
Military ground vehicles
Mobile generators
Material-handling equipment
Industrial control cabinets
Pumps and compressors
Motors and actuators
Outdoor communication equipment
Test and measurement systems
