KEL has developed the DJ Series of connectors in order to provide two-piece, 1.0mm pitch solutions for "next-generation" removable-media applications. The unit-side connectors of this series are straight SMT types, while the PC-side connectors feature a flexible right-angle DIP design that allows free selection of alignments (four types).
In addition to providing a coupling guide mechanism - highly useful in removable-media applications - a contact anti-buckling mechanism, and strength-boosting fixing jigs, the extremely considerate design of these connectors also features devices to prevent incorrect insertion and the like.
The DJ Series facilitates the insertion and removal of hard disks, CD-ROM drives, batteries, and the like while the device is powered up in the form of hot-swap compatibility, while also supporting the connection of inter-device frame grounds.
What`s more, as further proof of the ideal nature of this series in removable-media applications, it includes power-pin type connectors featuring isolated left and right power-supply pins, which are most useful in the supply of power to battery packs.
