Perguntas frequentes (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.
