The REDFIT IDC SKEDD Connector has been designed for ease of assembly, at the factory or in the field. The SKEDD contact consists of two arms, connected at their apex. The precise design of this area keeps the SKEDD contact elastic. This guarantees comfortable insertion force, even for connectors with a high number of pins. At the end of the insertion process, the spring stiffness of the flexible SKEDD contact reaches its highest value. In this state, the contact’s normal force is high enough to ensure that no signal interruption of more than 1µS occurs due to mechanical stress.
