Description:
A miniature single channel fiber optic connector
Less Space…More Performance…Cost Efficient Design
Delphi’s innovative Snap Lock miniature, single channel, fiber optic
connectors will meet your rugged, space limited, cost efficient
design requirements without sacrificing performance. Snap Lock’s
push/pull coupling design provides an efficient mate/demate feature
while maintaining the same high optical performance associated
with our multi-channel connectors.
Delphi’s Snap Lock can reside on a PCB where real estate is at a
premium. This miniature connector can be mounted directly onto
the board, and further space reduction is achieved without the need
for a threaded coupling ring. Snap Lock is available in several
versions, including in-line plug, in-line receptacle and jam-nut
receptacle to meet design requirements.
Self-Aligning Termini
Delphi’s fiber optic termini utilize constant pressure from Belleville
springs, rather than lower force coil springs, to help prevent termini
separation resulting from shock, vibration or thermal cycling. The
termini "float" within the connector and self-align to provide precise
mating every time. For further information on our termini, please
refer to Delphi’s Fiber Optic Termini Catalog.*
Benefits/Features:
Compact size, with a maximum diameter of less than
.25 inch [6.35 mm] for in-line and less than .30 inch [7.62 mm]
for jam-nut mount
Push/pull style single channel connector houses Delphi’s field
proven termini and reduces space required for mounting
Conveniently utilizes the same termini and termination processes
common to other Delphi fiber optic connectors
Pull-proof (non-optical disconnect)
Lightweight
No threaded coupling-ring required for mating
