DL Series ZIF Connectors Catalog

Medical Product Selection Guide

DLP

Cannon has developed a ‘Resilient Contact’ that provides reliable performance with contact wiping action directly on a PCB pad. A high density contact module enables a high pin count connector (136-408 contacts) and flexibility. The nickel plated aluminum housing along with the embedded grounding springs offer superior performance under the harshest EMI conditions. The DLP, like that of the DL, is capable of over 10,000 mating cycles. With the PCB acting as the mated contacts, electronics can be mounted at the signal source, thus reducing cross talk and minimizing real-estate. The DLP-408 is offered with mechanical shutters to meet the IEC requirements for finger protection.  

QLC

ITT expands its DL Family of Connectors with the Miniature QLC device to meet size, reliability, and mating requirements for Portable Medical Equipment. Similar to the DL Series connectors, the QLC connector is highly reliable, easily assembled during harnessing and features a high pin count, 260 contacts in PC Board-mount style. The receptacle is available in both standard solder tail and press-fit contacts. The QLC employs rugged nickel-plated aluminum housing and features a minimum rated life of 20,000 mating cycles with no performance loss. The interface of the QLC connector utilizes EMI springs and a shield-locking mechanism to ensure uniform mating pressure around the perimeter of the mated connector, creating an EMI/RFI shield.  With the current technology advances requiring smaller connection systems, ITT reduced the size from the current DL by more than 60% with the same number of contacts.

DLM Series - ZIF Connector

The Cannon DLM Series of Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connectors fill the need in the medical commercial/industrial, computer and peripheral equipment market places for high performance, multiple-wire power and signal connectors. The metal version of the original DL connectors, the DLM features a minimum rated life of 10,000 mating cycles with no performance loss. They can be mated and unmated in less than two seconds with up to 360 contacts and offer enhanced environmental protection and EMI/RFI shielding.
