REMOTE INPUT/
OUTPUT TERMINAL
SYSTEM (RITS)
CONNECTORS
The e-CON standard was developed in Japan in 2001 by a group
of Japanese manufacturers in order to standardize connections
from sensors to terminals. This standard is not under control of any
standard organizations. Without the standard, each manufacturer
had specified different connectors for terminations of sensors to
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and end users had to prepare
many different connectors and different tools. In order to improve this
situation and create a user-friendly environment, TE Connectivity has
offered AMP RITS connectors as the standard interface connector for
sensors. The 4-position RITS connector is approved as the industry
standard connector.

Locking Configuration
The new locking lever design secures a wire-to-
wire connection and can be pulled through a
partially jammed wiring duct. When mated, a very
clear click-sound will be heard. It will help prevent
accidental half-mating.
Chisel Press Contact
This new technology has three major features: Chisel,
Press and Retention.
The chisel shaped contact pierces into wire to secure
a much larger contact area. The press function will
keep the contact pressure applied. The retention
mechanism retains the wire at a higher retention force
than Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) connectors.
Chisel Press Contact is the new wire termination
technology to be applied to many kinds of wire from
solid to multi-stranded commonly used in Factory
Automation (FA) industries.
Cost Reduction
RITS Connectors offer 80% cost
reduction of operation compared to
conventional crimping connectors.

Easy Termination
Easier terminations made with lower applied cost and
improved quality.
In the manufacturing process of FA equipment,
electrical connections by crimping are commonly
seen in the assembly lines. RITS (Remote I/O Terminal
System) connectors offer an easy and efficient
connection method as well as total cost reduction
with higher electrical reliability without special skill to
perform the work.

Please refer to Instruction
Sheet 411-78014 for

STEP 1
Insert each wire into Housing.
Pliers can only be used for 3- and
4-position RITS connectors.
STEP 2
Squeeze housing together with pliers
or press the housing together with a
special tool.
Please use the special tool for larger
than 5-position RITS connectors.
The way to connect wire is quite easy:
Insert wire into a
housing and pinch the housing with a generic tool such as
pliers. TE Connectivity also provides a special tool for RITS
termination at a more economical price than a crimp-type tool
due to its simple function.
