Interconnect Solutions APPLICATION NOTE www.ittcannon.com High Temperature VEAM CIR Connectors The Challenge April 2008 Product Features To promote passenger safety on the extensive • Connector Type: CIR European railway system, ICS has been challenged • Shell: Stainless steel with the new European standards CEN/TS 45545 • Insulators: ceramic governing fire railway safety. These new regulations • Grommet: silicon rubber require high • Contacts: with metallic retention clip temperature exposure for a period of 15 minutes, • Available Arrangement: exposure criteria govered by the ISO 834-1 heating • 40A-35 (35 poles size 12) curve (max Temperature 800°C). • Coming soon: a connector able to withstand o 36A- 40 (40 poles size 16) o 4 poles size 16 (MVB line) Applications • Railway systems • Transportation New VEAM High Temperature CIR Connector interconnects • The ITT Solution … High Temperature environments where signal integrity is critical ITT ICS answered this challenge with a new High temperature CIR connector exceeding 15 minutes (30 min) of exposure to the ISO 834-1mandated heating curve. Consequently, the connectors remain active while the train moves away from the site of accident or fire. Critical control signals remain viable without the need for complex technical solutions.
