JIC Connectors

JIC Connectors

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.

Uses of JIC Connectors

  • Hydraulic Systems - JIC fittings have been a part of hydraulic systems for industries ranging from agriculture, and manufacturing to construction as well.
  • Aerospace - JIC connectors are common in aircraft hydraulic systems and fuel lines due to their durable nature.
  • Automotive- Fuel, oil and hydraulic systems in automobiles, trucks, heavy machineries etc use JIC connectors.
  • Marine - They are also commonly used in marine applications (such as ships and offshore platforms) where salty conditions demand highly corrosion resistant hardware along with zero leak fittings.
