Originally designed & patented by ITT Cannon engineers for use on commercial & military aviation systems, D-Sub Connectors were manufactured as a smaller, lightweight alternative to many of the large, heavier circular electronic plugs of the time. This small but robust rectangular interconnect solution was quickly adopted across a number of applications and industries, and the Cannon D-Sub soon became the first multi-purpose connector of its kind.
Today, ITT Cannon offers a wide array of standard, high density, double density & Combo-D layouts with crimp, solder, PCB or wire wrapped termination. Select parts are qualified to NASA, MIL-DTL-24308 & SAE Standards.
