we will work with our customer’s Engineers to design an
interconnect 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.
Our Processes
When you specify an ITT 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.
RoHS Compliance Information
ITT has implemented a strict parts control plan for all ITT
electronics plants worldwide that allows the ITT connector
product portfolios to meet the requirements of European
Union Directive, better known as the Reduction of
Hazardous Substances initiative. As appropriate, specific
ITT’s products may be ordered with an R prefix number
which insures our customers will receive RoHS compliant
parts for their commercial electronics applications and
equipment. Since most RoHS hazardous substances center
around specific metal plating and lead solder coatings, our
products 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.
Six Sigma Manufacturing
ITT’s Connector business operates centres of manufacturing
excellence across the world with key sites in Europ , United
States and Mexico located close to the markets they serve.
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 us to offer products at market driven prices.
The Custom Difference
As the industry leader in harsh environment interconnect
applications, our world class engineering teams will work
directly with our customers to design and develop cost
effective solutions for their applications. In many cases we
may modify one of our standard designs to ensure a highly
reliable solution where timing is critical. Yet, in those cases
where a complete custom interconnect solution is required,

VEAM PowerLock Applications
The VEAM PowerLock connector series for field installation power
distribution systems offers the ultimate in safety and reliability under
the most severe operating conditions.
Electricity supply for boats moored in rivers and canals
Power distribution systems for outdoor lighting, concerts and theater
equipment
PowerLock is available in four standard formats
which allow complete hook up through the
standard daisy chain principle. There are two
Source connectors, one for panel mounting and
one for cable attachment. These are identified
as Panel Source and Line Source. The other two
types are Drain connectors. These connectors
are identified as Panel Drain and Line Drain.
Typical applications for PowerLock include three
phase motors, generators, load banks, lighting
distribution panels and in-house supplies.
PowerLock connectors serve a very diverse
industry base which includes outdoor concerts,
carnivals, sporting events, television outdoor
broadcast, theaters, electricity supply companies
and many heavy industrial environments such as
construction.

PowerLock Overview
ITT Veam PowerLock connectors are plastic bodied single pole electrical connectors used
in high current applications. For use in single and polyphase power distribution systems
up to 660 amps, the range includes panel and cable mounted connectors, and
associated accessories. PowerLock connectors are moisture and impact resistant and
feature insulated contact tips to prevent accidental touching of electrically live parts.
Typical uses include 3 phase motors, generators, wind turbines and power distribution
boards in a wide variety of applications.
PowerLock connectors are easy to terminate to copper cable using either industry standard crimp tools or set-screw contacts.
The silver plated contacts are available in 2 continuous current ranges, those with brass contacts are suitable for use up to
400 amps and those with copper contacts up to 660 amps.
The high impact plastic connector bodies are keyed to prevent connection errors, and color coded to suit 3 phase electrical
systems that are used in the US, Europe and Australia.

Connectors for attachment directly to cable (line connectors) are supplied with a loose contact. Fitting to the cable is by either
crimp or set-screw termination, the contact is then retained within the insulator body with a nylon cotter pin.
Secure coupling of a connector pair is through a bayonet lock together with a secondary locking pin. The secondary lock
engages when the bayonet lock is fully turned and disconnection requires a simple release key. The secondary lock discourages
tampering and reduces the risk of accidental or unauthorized disconnection. If fast disconnection is required, for an application where tampering is not a risk, the connectors can be fitted with a sliding collar that quickly unlocks the connectors.
Cable connectors are fitted with cable glands to fit a wide range of cables. The cable glands, together with an interfacial seal,
provide an ingress protection level of IP67 when mated.

PowerLock Connector Locking
PowerLock connectors feature a bayonet coupling mechanism with a secondary locking pin. When a pair of connectors are
mated and fully turned to engage the bayonet, the spring loaded secondary locking pin on the Drain connectors, snaps into
a slot on the Source connector; a special release key is then required to uncouple the connectors.
Coupling
Un-Coupling
Uncoupled - Note the
secondary locking pin on the
right hand connector and
the slot on the left hand
connector.
To uncouple, the release key,
LL0023N is pushed into the slot.
Aligning the arrow lines up
the keyways allowing the
connectors to be pushed
together fully compressing
the locking pin.
The release key is used to push
the locking pin out of the slot.
Connectors are turned
clockwise and locking pin
snaps into the slot on the
mating half.
With the release key holding the
locking pin back, the connectors
can now be turned counterclockwise and uncoupled.

Connector Descriptions
Source – This the term used to describe the connector fitted with a male contact in a female housing, it is usually the
connector attached to the source of the power, i.e. the ‘live’ connector, the contact is fitted with an insulated end cap to
prevent accidental finger touching of live parts.
Drain – This is the term used to describe the connector fitted with a female contact in a male housing, this is not normally
the live connector, however it does include a spring loaded insulated cap to prevent finger touching. The Drain connector
is fitted with a secondary locking pin that locks into the mating half when the 2 connectors are fully engaged. A simple release
key is required to disconnect the parts.
Line – The line connector is the free connector fitted to a cable. Crimp or Set-Screw contacts are available for attaching
the conductor.
Panel – Panel connectors feature a square 4 hole flange for attaching to a panel. The 4 holes are normally supplied open,
however can be pre-fitted with threaded inserts to reduce mounting time.
