Slide locks and automatic slide locks are used especially for D-Sub interconnections with frequent reconnect cycles or for difficult mounting locations where a screw-on locking would be problematic being either difficult to reach or very time-consuming to operate.
These items are typically applied in test benches and experimental set-ups, in modular control systems or for mobile testing and diagnostic devices. As most of these kind of applications do require a high level of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), a reliable EMI / RFI protection by continuous shielding of the interconnection system is indispensable.
Being a specialist for EMI / RFI shielding interconnection systems Inotec electronics has developed the series M1, M2, M3 and M5 which are especially designed for being operated with slide locks and automatic slide locks.
