especially in robotics, computerized precision tooling,
Kaizen 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.
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.
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 order-
ing board mount connectors.
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.

Cannon Audio XL
In today’s audio markets, demanding customers have many choices. Why choose ITT
Interconnect Solutions?
Cannon pioneered the first Audio connectors during the early 1920’s, the birth of the entertainment
industry. Continuing our innovation in these markets, Cannon has moved beyond these early products
into today’s digital age. Cannon’s expertise stems from a commitment to the entertainment industry, a
commitment extending longer than any other supplier.
Cannon’s audio product line offers a broad spectrum of
choices encompassing low cost products for less
demanding applications to higher-end connectors for
applications requiring extra durability.
First introduced by Cannon in 1958, the overwhelming
industry acceptance of our XLR connectors culminated
in the recent induction into the TECnology Hall of
Fame by the Mix Foundation for Excellence in Audio,
further symbolizing our instrumental participation in the
advancement of audio technology. This recognition
substantiates Cannon’s XLR as the industries leading
audio connector.
In addition to the XLR,
global audio and video
professionals specify our
XLM-PCB connectors. These connectors display such high reliability that
they are also preferred by such industries as military, medical,
test/instrumentation, transportation, and industrial.
Today, we proudly introduce our new Mini-XL series designed to meet the
audio industries demands for a higher density, robust interconnect solutions.
The Mini-XL connector represents a 40% reduction in size over our standard
XLR connector. This quick, one touch connect/disconnect circular connector incorporates a design opti-
mized for a wide variety of applications where space is a premium. Be assured, all of our audio connec-
tors are RoHS compliant.
Moving back to our original question, which company’s audio connectors have invented the standard
since audience’s first marveled at the first “talking” motion pictures? Audio professionals know the
answer. ITT ICS Cannon continues to own center stage with audio products that have served laughter
and entertainment to millions.
