Battery Contacts and Dovetail Connectors

Highly configurable Spring Probes Connector

Dovetail Connector Series features C Series Spring Probes, renowned for their incomparable shock and vibration performance, housed in a patented block design. These connectors make it easy to explore the benefits of spring probe technology without the investment associated with custom tooling.

Features & Benefits

  • Custom configurations
  • Mixed functionality within single connector
  • Immediate delivery
  • Reliable in shock and vibration environments
  • IDI Spring Probe technology

Overview

 Available with two compressed heights, 4 mm and 6 mm, the symmetrical blocks interlock to allow for simple configuration into any imaginable X-Y pattern. A multitude of probe options permit the benefits of a custom connector design such as intermixing of power and ground functions within the same array. Dovetail connectors, because of their configurable nature, allow designers to solve problems with an innovative contact technology packaged in a field-configurable, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution - instantly, easily, and securely. Available for immediate delivery with no tooling required, the Dovetail Connector eliminates the time and expense associated with typical prototype and low to medium volume manufacturing activities.
