DMK zero-insertion-force rectangular plug and receptacle with cam lever

DMK Zero-Insertion-Force Rectangular Connectors, 10,000 Cycles

Zero insertion force · 60–260 contacts · 10,000 cycles

DMK connectors use a cam: the plug and receptacle are brought together with almost no force, then the cam moves the contact springs into engagement. This gives gentle mating, reliable contact and 10,000 mating cycles for high-pin-count test and equipment interfaces.
