ITT Interconnect Solutions

ITT Interconnect Solutions is a division of the multi-

national ITT Corporation, a $7.8 billion dollar global

enterprise representing the brands Cannon, VEAM,

nd BIW. Our connector portfolio remains the most

extensive in the industry offering the most reliable and

cost effective range of interconnect solutions. These

innovations have enabled ITT to provide products and

technologies to such markets as:

• Automotive

• Computer/Consumer

• Industrial/Instrumentation

• Military/Aerospace

• Oil Fields

• Telecom/Handset

• Transportation

When you specify a Cannon, VEAM or BIW connector,

you can rely on a product designed, developed, and

manufactured to the highest quality and reliability

standards. This tradition of excellence is based on

ITT’ s corporate culture of operating its businesses

under the principles of Six Sigma. At ITT, Six Sigma is

not just a quality philosophy but a complete corporate

culture that drives the entire business. Our Value Based

Management and Value Based Product Development

systems are two cornerstones that allow for the

development of both leadership and product

engineering principles, ensuring the correct industry

leading products are developed to the

accepted market driven lead times. These principles

have allowed ITT to become the market leader in all of

our business portfolios.

Six Sigma Manufacturing

ITT operates manufacturing facilities in the United

States, Germany, Italy, Mexico, China, Japan and the

UK, all of which have particular product area strengths

allowing ITT to offer a truly global footprint to our

customers. Our facilities are world class and

accommodate full vertical integration utilizing the latest

manufacturing technologies including: automated and

robotic machining centers, Super Market manufacturing

cells, Kanban pull systems, and automated electrical,

mechanical, and optical test and inspection equipment.

The combination of our manufacturing strength and our

advanced manufacturing facilities allows ITT to offer

products at market driven prices. Our capabilities,

especially in robotics, computerized precision tooling,

aizen Project Management, Six Sigma tools, and

testing, give ITT the most optimized global manufactur-

ing footprint in the interconnect industry.

The Custom Difference

As the industry leader in harsh environment intercon-

nect applications, ITT’ s world class engineering

teams will work directly with our customers to design

and develop cost effective solutions for their applica-

tions. In many cases we may modify one of our stan-

dard designs to ensure a highly reliable solution where

timing is critical. Yet, in those cases where a complete

custom interconnect solution is required, ITT will work

with our customer’ s Engineers to design an intercon-

nect solution which will be cost effective yet highly

reliable. As professional consultants, our Engineering

teams will provide a thorough systems and mechanical

analysis of any proposed solution. These analyses

provide our customers with sophisticated electrical

signal and mechanical characterizations to determine

the best solution for their application.

RoHS Compliance Information

ITT has implemented a strict parts control plan for all

ITT electronics plants worldwide that allows the

Cannon, VEAM, and BIW connector product portfolios

to meet the requirements of European Union Directive

2002/95/EC better know as the Reduction of

Hazardous Substances initiative. As appropriate,

specific Cannon, VEAM, and BIW products may be

ordered with an R prefix number which insures our cus-

tomers will receive RoHS compliant parts for their com-

mercial electronics applications and equipment. Since

most RoHS hazardous substances center around spe-

cific metal plating and lead solder coatings, ITT's prod-

ucts for RoHS compliance are available in the following

plating finishes: electroless nickel, stainless steel,

Anodize over aluminum and Gold plating. It should be

noted that gold plating would be recommended

as the replacement for tin-lead solder when

ordering board mount connectors.
