Cannon ZD Connectors Datasheet

Category: Connectors, Electronics, ITT Cannon

Overview

The datasheet describes Cannon ZD Connectors, which are high-density connectors designed for 90-degree printed circuit board (PCB) receptacle applications. The connectors come in different configurations, characterized by the number of contacts, which include 15, 26, 44, and 62 contacts. They are also RoHS compliant, adhering to restrictions on hazardous substances.

Product Designation

Connectors are identified by specific designations that denote the shell size, arrangement, board lock type, and screw lock size. They are available in various arrangements—designated as E/15, A/26, B/44, and C/62—indicating different configurations and contact numbers. Each connector model is accompanied by a unique part number, for example:

Boardlock and screwlock 4-40 shell size 2B: ZDEISSIAKN-146
Boardlock threaded insert 4-40 shell size 2B: ZDELSSIAKN-146
The other configurations follow a similar pattern, with varying prefixes for different shell sizes and contact arrays.

Special Notes and Examples

A note in the datasheet indicates that for Class 2 connectors, an additional suffix, ‘A191’, is to be added to the part number, as in ‘ZDEISSIAKN-A191-146’. This special designation may relate to a classification based on performance or quality standards.

Shell Dimensions and PCB Compatibility

Key dimensions for the connectors are provided in millimeters, including the length added to the shell (A, B, C) and the various distances between connector components (D), providing necessary detail for integration into PCB designs. For example, dimension ‘A’ has an added length of 0.38mm, while ‘C’ has an added length of 0.25mm. The datasheet illustrates these dimensions through different measurements, such as 16.33, 24.66, 30.89, and 39.10 for the respective shell additions.

Additional Resources

For more detailed specifications and mounting instructions, the datasheet refers the user to additional pages such as the PCB hole pattern on page 35 and the panel cutout on page 39. These references suggest that the datasheet contains comprehensive technical details spanning beyond the first two pages, which are crucial for proper application and usage of the connectors.

Manufacturer Information and Disclaimer

The manufacturer, ITT Cannon, provides a website link (www.ittcannon.com) for further information. A disclaimer at the bottom of the datasheet warns that specifications and dimensions are subject to change, reminding users to consult the latest documentation or company resources for up-to-date information.
