HIGH DENSITY
CONNECTOR SAVERS / GENDER CHANGERS
DAD series connectors are suitable for use in any appli-
cations requiring high performance characteristic. The
high density DAD series is available in six standard con-
nector variants of 15, 26, 44, 62, 78 and 104 contacts.
DAD series connectors utilize precision machined
contacts for strength and durability. The female contact
features a rugged open entry design. Female PosiBand
closed entry contacts can be chosen for even higher
reliability, see page 1 for details.
DAD series connectors can be mated to a
connector which would normally experience high
numbers of mating cycles. The DAD connector can be
easily replaced, “saving” a connector which is not
easily replaced.
Connectors are available in standard density
versions, see page 71.
