DG Interconnect QL-5 Mini Auto-Coupling Connector

DG Interconnect expands the Eclipse family of products with the QL-5 Mini Auto-Coupling Connector. 

DG Interconnect introduced the QL-5 Series connector to meet the growing demand for a miniature, high-density connector capable of ultra-high mating cycles in a cost-effective package.

“The QL-5 is the perfect complement to our QL-7 Series product line. The medical industry has demanded all of the same magic in a smaller package,” said DGI’s General Manager, Dave Galambos.

The QL-5 auto-coupling mechanism latches with a fluid, rotational action that provides positive confirmation that the connector pair is fully engaged. The QL-5 is ideal for instrument applications requiring up to 14 sealed contacts in a quick-lock package and meets medical industry standards for contact density and performance in a 0.5″ diameter package.

What sets the QL-5 apart is an elegant design that blends well with contemporary electronic consoles. Like the larger QL-7, the QL-5 shatters the interconnect service paradigm with a configurable design that facilitates the quick, low-cost delivery of samples, prototypes, and pilot production cable assemblies.  The average volume price is approximately $20 depending on lead length and contact arrangement. The QL-5 also offers versions equipped to endure 100K mating cycles.
