Drawer connectors are
designed as an economical
rack and panel connector.
They are used in copying
machines, control panels,
power distribution boards,
industrial equipment, power
supplies and other elec-
tronic equipment.
Blind-mate drawer connec-
tors feature excellent
durability and provide low
insertion and withdrawal
force. Leaf-type herma-
phroditic contacts ensure
reliable, positive contact.
Contacts are on .197 [5.00]
centerlines for signal cir-
cuits, and .260 [6.60] cen-
terlines for power circuits
(2-circuits at each end of
the double row of contacts)
for a total of 4. Row-to-row
spacing is .390 [9.90].

Housings are made of UL
94V-0 rated thermoplastic
and feature molded-in
guide pins and sockets for
positive connector mating.
Other features include wire
outlets which provide for
sufficient creep distance,
plus mated assemblies are
completely dust-proof.
Additional economies are
achieved through the use of
strip-form contacts suitable
for high-speed automatic
machine terminations. For
prototype, maintenance and
repair applications, con-
tacts are available in loose
piece for easy termination
with Tyco Electronics hand
crimping tools.
