ZIF Connectors
DLD
DLD Drawer Product Introduction
annon has combined Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) technology with remote
C
electrical engagement. The DLD Drawer
allows the movement of a drawer or panel to
effortlessly mate/unmate the connector halves. As
an example: electrical sub-systems can be easily
removed for service, interchangability, or
portability.
By specifying DLD Drawer interconnect systems,
your packaging design is simplified as the need for
expensive, complicated, and space-consuming
manual actuation mechanisms is eliminated. Tight
space requirements no longer restrict your use of
ZIF connectors.
The contacts in the DLD Drawer product line do not
touch each other while the connector halves are
mating. This unique ZIF technology, introduced in
the Cannon DL series in the early 1970’s, has
time-tested proven reliability and durability.
The DLD Drawer’s remote mating feature utilizes
the axial thrust of a cam to move and mate the
contacts. At the end of the cam travel, the cam
ramps on a flat surface thereby negating any
uncoupling forces.
This rack-and-panel connector is available with
crimp or square post contacts, allowing cable,
PCB, or flat-flex termination.
