CZ4 Modular Rectangular Connectors, up to 15,000 Mating Cycles
Modular · 1–50 A contacts · 15,000 cycles quick-lock
CZ4 is a modular rectangular connector for test systems and equipment that is mated very often. Insulator modules with 2, 4, 5, 10 or 45 contacts are combined in one frame, with hyperboloid wire-spring contacts from Ø 0.4 mm (1 A) to Ø 3.5 mm (50 A). A central 180° quick-lock is rated for 15,000 mating cycles; the threaded version for 5,000.
