Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between TGN and ZLN F-Series connectors?

TGN connectors are straight long plugs designed for cable mounting, featuring a cable collet and nut for bend relief. ZLN connectors are hermetic sockets with elbow print contacts for PCB mounting. Together, they form a complete plug-and-socket pair, offering IP68 watertight sealing and 360° EMC shielding for display and industrial applications.

Q2: Are TGN and ZLN connectors compatible with Fischer connectors?

Yes. The F-Series TGN and ZLN connectors are designed as direct replacements for Fischer S 103 and S 104 series connectors. They share the same shell dimensions, keying system, and contact arrangements, ensuring full interchangeability with Fischer-compatible systems and other leading push-pull connector brands.

Q3: What is the maximum contact count for F-Series connectors?

The F-Series push-pull connector family supports up to 40 contacts in multipole configurations. The 1031F series offers 2 to 40 contacts, while the 104F series offers 2 to 19 contacts. Mixed signal-power and coaxial contact configurations are also available for specialized display and video transmission applications.

Q4: Can these connectors be used in outdoor display installations?

Yes. Both the 1031F and 104F series connectors achieve IP68 (continuous immersion) and IP66 (high-pressure water jets) protection when properly mated. The chrome-plated brass shell provides excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor digital signage, stadium displays, and industrial display installations exposed to weather and dust.

Q5: What is the typical lead time for F-Series connector orders?

Standard orders of TGN and ZLN F-Series connectors typically ship within 7–15 working days, depending on model availability and quantity. Custom cable assembly, mixed contact configurations, or special plating options may require additional lead time. Contact [email protected] for current stock and delivery estimates.
