The Minicon is an extremely compact modular connector, with "push-pull" locking mechanism and with piece parts available as required. The Minicon features up to 12 machined gold plated contacts, with the additional options of horizontal and vertical PCB mount types in the case of the chassis sockets. Non PCB types may be fitted with the required number of solder or crimp contacts which should be ordered separately.
