Introduction

ZIF Connectors DLD

DLD Drawer Product Introduction

annon has combined Zero Insertion

Force (ZIF) technology with remote

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.

Introduction

ZIF Connectors DL4

DL4 Product Introduction

he Cannon DL4 Series of Zero Insertion

Force (ZIF) connectors fill the need in the

commercial/industrial, aerospace/

military, computer and peripheral equipment

marketplaces for low-cost, high performance

multiple wire power and signal connectors. The

DL4 Series is a panel mounted connector with

easy actuating lever from the side.

DL connectors feature: a minimum rated life of

20,000 complete mating and unmating cycles with

no performance loss; can be mated and unmated

in less than two seconds even with as many as

2496 contacts; and they cost less (often as much

as 25% less) per mated line than singular high-

density rack-and-panel connectors.

Simple. Effective. Reliable. Durable.

Combining their special design with commercial-

grade materials and low cost crimp. PCB and

wrappable hermaphroditic contacts, that may be

hand or machine terminated, makes the DL Series

of ZIF connectors the finest low-cost-per-mated-

line I/O connectors available today.

Introduction

ZIF Connectors DL/DLM

DL/DLM Product Features

ɀ High pin count:

60, 96, 156, 260, 360, 624, 1248* or 2496*

contact positions.

ɀ Variety of contacts:

– Crimp

– Square Post

– Wrap Post

– Buss

– PC/RC

ɀ Metal or plastic housing.

ɀ Wide range of accessories.

ɀ Easy actuation by screwdriver, socket wrench

(DL1/2/3 only), allen wrench or actuating

handle (see accessories page 47).

The long life and rapid mating are achieved through

the use of our Zero Insertion Force design.

Contacts in the plug and receptacle do not touch

each other while the connector halves are being

engaged.

Zero Insertion Force Camming Instructions

This is our ‘‘DL/DLM’’ series of connectors.

Step 1. Simply place it together.

Step 2. Turn the cam a quarter turn.

Step 3. It’s locked and mated.

Contacts aligned.

Contacts engaged.

Contacts are mated.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3...

Step 1. The plug is placed over the receptacle.

Step 2. A ‘‘quarter turn’’ of an actuating shaft

mates all the contacts at once.

Step 3. The ‘‘same quarter’’ turn also physically

locks the connector halves together.

Connector engagement force is zero, and the only

wear on the contacts occurs as they are pressed

together and lightly wiped past each other during

the camming and locking operation.
