• SDL Connectors (Shielded Data Link) | TE Connectivity

The SDL Connector (Shielded Data Link) meets industry's demand for a cost effective shielded connector. This connector provides EMI/RFI protection for a wide range of applications from critical medical systems to point-of-sale equipment, including computers, computer peripherals, video games and process control equipment. This connector is also compatible with flat, round and coil cables that use 28 to 24 AWG [0.08 to 0.2mm²] 7-strand wire.

The SDL plug can be mass terminated using a proven reliable insulation displacement wire termination technique. Mass termination dramatically reduces the labor cost of attaching a connector to a cable. Design enhancements have yielded effortless wire indexing and seating prior to the mass termination.

The SDL connector mates smoothly and effortlessly because of its low force contact design. It locks in place with a tactile feel and an audible click which is caused by the action of the two plastic latches.

Each connector size is available with a choice of several standard molded-in keying arrangements. The geometry of the plug and receptacle eliminates the possibility of inserting the plug upside down.

The gold-to-gold contact configuration of the SDL connector has been proven in the data systems and telecommunications markets after years of successful service.
