EZ-Link connector system
Post Time:2014-08-06 Hits:
Compass has developed a new connector system, EZ-link, which is self-aligning. The unpredictable alignment of the standard connector has been eliminated. The interconnect has been eliminated with the centralizer incorporated into the applicable module. This centralizer is very low cost versus what is standard on the original design. It also eliminates the ability to bend pins which lead to bad connections and are very often the cause of failures. The fewer connections, the higher reliability.
The sockets in which the pins go are floating to minimize the risk of bent pins or worn out pins and sockets that have historically been an issue in the old design. There is no issue with alignment as the pins are automatically aligned perfectly, making assembly of tools quick and easy. The most inexperienced field operator would have a very hard time not putting a tool together. A special tool is required to install the rubber fins in this design, which is justifiable due to the much lower cost of the rubber fins, along with the lowered risk of failures.
