TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered-electronics for performance critical applications, has launched mag Net soldier connector, the world's first C4I2 MIL-spec (military standard), auto aligning and self coupling textile-mounting garment connector. It is displayed at the ongoing AUSA Exposition in Washington, from October 3 to 5, 2016.
Unlike circular barrel connectors, mag Net is a robust, flush rectangular solution with a self-aligning, automatic magnetic latching system that enables the easiest, one-handed blind mating.TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered-electronics for performance critical applications, has launched mag Net soldier connector, the world's first C4I2 MIL-spec (military standard), auto aligning and self coupling textile-mounting garment connector.

Intended for equipment connection to soldier-worn garments and load-carrying systems, the mag Net design provides mechanical latching with no moving parts for reliable, jam-free operation. Together with an ultra-lightweight, no-bulk design that maximises mobility and eliminates cable snag hazards, mag Net's abrasion-resistant, flush-flat receptacles are virtually self-cleaning and require no protective caps, ensuring maximum durability and full environmental-sealing. The 8-way contact configuration supports power up to 8A and USB 2.0 high-speed data transmission. Cable plugs can be oriented to allow for cable entry in any direction.
TT Electronics' beta and alpha testing of the mag Net connector system has received very positive reactions from various military authorities and the manufacturers of rugged equipment.
The garment part of the mag Net connector system comprises of a low-cost, garment cage made of thermoplastic, which is strong, durable and chemical resistant, can be easily and securely sewn into clothing by garment manufacturers. The non-polarised cage provides an aperture into which the second element, the connector receptacle, can be fitted with the desired orientation.
The mag Net plug connector can be fitted to equipment such as personal role radios (PRRs) or batteries, providing a direct connection to the vest. Plugs feature 'pogo' spring contacts, machined from copper alloy, for high mating cycle resilience and easy cleaning, with an optional first-mate, last-break contact configuration. For cable connections, an over-moulded flying lead assembly, which is fully EMC shielded to MIL STD 461 and Def Stan 59 411, delivers best-in-class ergonomics and minimises snagging. The mag-Net soldier connector also provides fluid and shock resistance, at an operating temperature of -40°C to +80°C. (GK)
