A. Manual (turn handle cam) – DL / DLM series.
Blind mating (self cam) – DLD drawer series.
A. DL / DLD series.
A. DLM series (for EMI / RFI shielding).
DL4 series.
A. For 100 milliamps or less use 50µ inch gold contacts (Flat contacts
on Receptacle, and Bump contacts on Plug), see pages 52-53.
A. For more than 100 milliamps, use 20µ inch gold contacts
(Hermaphroditic Bump contact), see pages 52-53.
A. For higher than 5 amps use Buss contacts, see page 51.
A. Select the appropriate part number for the Plug and Receptacle
based on the number and type of contacts needed for this
application, see pages 12-13.
A. Order appropriate crimp contacts for the wire size used in this
application, see pages 50-53.
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)
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.
A. Actuating handles are ordered separately (except DL4 Series),
see page 47.
A. Order the polarizing posts to protect from erroneous mating,
see page 48.
A. Two Options:
ɀ Plastic Junction Shell with optional second entry cable clamp
kit, see page 46.
ɀ Metal Backshell available, see pages 44-45.
A. Order the EMI / RFI metal shielding shells or utilize the new DLM5
series without shield shell, see page 49.
A. Order the appropriate protective cover, see page 47.
