Trinity MKJ Series Performance
Trinity MKJ – Reduction in weight and size
without loss of reliability.
Delivering a durable, reliable and lightweight
product for military & commercial aviation
The Trinity MKJ family of mini circular connectors provides similar
electrical and mechanical characteristics to larger and heavier Military
Standard Environmental connectors.
ITT Cannon continues the tradition of innovation with the
Trinity MKJ line of miniature circular connectors. Trinity
MKJ products boldly positions itself as a primary resource
to tackle your matrix of harsh environment applications.
These connectors offer three coupling methods (threaded,
bayonet and breakaway) in a highly engineered design
with reduced weight by 71% and size by 52% without
sacrificing the environmental performance or reliability.*
Bringing together a unique combination of Design,
Functionality and Flexibility, the Trinity excels in delivering a
product for a broad variety of harsh environment
applications. The MKJ series comes with rear accessory
threads or integral band platform for direct attachment of
cable shield and overmold. Trinity MKJ provides
unparalleled functionality for numerous applications across
multiple markets including Industrial, Defense and
Aerospace.
Contact Availability
Offered in a split tine and PC
tail/soldercup contact designs
with proven reliability in harsh
environment conditions.
Contacts meet stanard MIL-C-
39029.
Teflon nickel,black zinc ni-
ckel and olive drab cadmium
plating maintain robust reliabi-
lity for 500 hours of salt spray.
A variety of the series offer
ruggedized computers and
hand held communications
equipment a 2,000 mating
cycle.
Trinity MKJ’s multiple
coupling mechanisms
equip connectivity for
navigation and telemetry
applications.
Plugs and receptacles are
environmentally sealed to
meet the harsh environments
