D-Sub full metal hoods for slide locks and quick-release locks

During the development of the M1 and M2 series, Inotec focused in particular on simple and reliable operability as well as high holding forces.
Despite a space-saving, compact design, the 9-way version of the series already offers 2 cable inputs and leaves enough space, e.g. for looping cables through. Optionally, the M1 housings are available with internal threads and thus may be used as coupling plugs with sliding or screw locking. When used as a coupling, the M1 series is also compatible with the Inotec coding system. The M2 series has been extended by 15 mm compared to the M1 and thus allows the installation of filters or assembled circuit boards or offers additional space, e.g. for the cabling of mixed, coaxial or flat cable connectors.

Special features:

• Standard version with thread-forming fixation screws for secure fastening of the slider
• M2 version with extended interior space for circuit boards or mixed cabling
• Variants with internal thread can be used as coupling plugs

With the development of the M3 series, Inotec focused in particular on fast and secure locking even in unfavorable mounting situations. M3 series is a perfect and robust solution for all applications requiring frequent connection and disconnection cycles with a reliable protection against unintentional disconnection.
During the mating operation, the lock hooks in automatically.
The mechanism only needs to be actively actuated to unlock. A defined spring force and a sufficiently large spring travel also prevent unintentional actuation of the release.

Special features:

• Secure, tool-free installation of the actuator spring
• Special blanket geometry for optimal guidance of the locking
  mechanism
• Thread-forming shoulder screws for secure attachment of the
  slider

High packing densities and frequent mating cycles are typical conditions on test benches or in test systems. Nevertheless, the connectors must be reliably secured against unintentional disconnecting and must allow to be connected individually. The Inotec M5 series is specially designed for such requirements. Locking is done by a simple push operation without any need to actuate a mechanism. Thanks to the long and ergonomically designed, rubberized spring tabs, each connector can be easily disconnected even in densely packed installations. The M5 system is designed exclusively for 9-pin D-Sub interfaces.
