How to Identify the Ideal DL Product for Your Application
Q. What type of actuation does the application require?
A. Manual (turn handle cam) – DL / DLM series.
Blind mating (self cam) – DLD drawer series.
Q. Does the application require plastic housing?
Q. Does the application require metal housing?
A. DL / DLD series.
A. DLM series (for EMI / RFI shielding).
DL4 series.
Q. Does this application involve low currents?
A. For 100 milliamps or less use 50µ inch gold contacts (Flat contacts
on Receptacle, and Bump contacts on Plug), see pages 52-53.
Q. Does this application involve standard currents of more than
100 milliamps?
A. For more than 100 milliamps, use 20µ inch gold contacts
(Hermaphroditic Bump contact), see pages 52-53.
Q. Does this application involve higher than 5 amps?
Q. What type of contact is required for this application?

ɀ 50µ inch Gold (low current to 5 A applications) – Most
Versatile
ɀ 20µ inch Gold (standard application)
ɀ Buss contacts (high amps-greater than 5 A)
Q. Does the application require crimp tooling, with low or high
volume?
A. For low volume of crimps:
Order loose contacts and order the appropriate hand tool,
see page 55.
For high volume of crimps (50,000 per year or more):
Order reeled contacts, see page 53, and contact Cannon’s Customer-
Use-Tooling to lease an automatic crimp machine, see page 59.
Q. Is an actuating handle needed?
A. Actuating handles are ordered separately (except DL4 Series),
see page 47.
Q. Does the application require fool-proof mating?
Q. How do I protect the wiring / cabling?
A. Order the polarizing posts to protect from erroneous mating,
see page 48.

ɀ Plastic Junction Shell with optional second entry cable clamp
kit, see page 46.
ɀ Metal Backshell available, see pages 44-45.
Q. When the DL5-260 series application requires EMI / RFI
shielding?
A. Order the EMI / RFI metal shielding shells or utilize the new DLM5
series without shield shell, see page 49.
Q. Does the customer need to protect the contacts when
connector is not mated?
