JIC connectors, short for Joint Industry Council connectors are a type of hydraulic fitting that have been designed with 37° chamfer seating surface. Because they are designed not to leak, and can handle high-pressure with ease as well vibration — this makes them very popular for fluid power applications; particularly in higher pressure systems. This socket is a low-current version of the JIC 37° flare hydraulic connector and used in common on aerospace, automotive, and industrial hydraulics.
