Cannon ZIF Connectors

DL - Plastic Body

The Cannon DL Series of Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)

connectors fill the need in the medical, commercial / indus-

trial, computer, and peripheral equipment market places for

low-cost, high performance, multiple-wire power and signal

connectors.

DL connectors feature: a minimum rated life of 10,000

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

Simple. Effective. Reliable. Durable

Combining their special deign with commercial-grade

materials and low cost crimp, PCB, and wrappable hermaph-

roditic contacts, that may be hand or machine terminated,

makes the DL Series of ZIF connectors the finest low-cost-

per-mated-line I/0 connectors available today.

The ambient temperature curves shown represent the rated current carrying capacity of the Cannon

DL1/2/3/4, electrical connectors, derated to 80%of the values recorded during the methods specified by

International Electro-Technical Commission Document 48 (1975).

Current was applied to the total connector (all contacts) in one-half ampere increments and maintained at

each current level until thermal stability was achieved. A thermocouple inserted into the “hottest area” of

each connector then measured the connector temperature at the same time that an ambient temperature

reading was taken. The difference between the two measured values is the heat rise or self-heating created

solely by the current flow, and this temperature rise for the current level was deducted from the insulator

material rated temperature. These values were then derated to 80% to obtain the curves shown.
