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 connector
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 mat-
ing 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.
