ITT Cannon DL Anti-Static Synthetic Rubber, Zinc, Stainless Steel, Thermoplastic, Polyethylene, Nickel, Die 204-0016-000

ITT Cannon 204-0016-000 DL Anti-Static Synthetic Rubber, Zinc, Stainless Steel, Thermoplastic, Polyethylene, Nickel, Die Cast Actuator Handle provides high reliability for automotive connector system operations. Specifically designed as a right angle actuator handle, the device facilitates easy mating and locking of DL series multi-pole connectors by rotating the handle through ninety degrees, engaging cam shafts to ensure secure connections between plug and socket couplings. This advanced mechanical system enables zero insertion force coupling - a vital feature for handling high-contact densities in robust professional environments such as automotive diagnostics, test and instrumentation equipment, medical devices, computer systems, broadcast, and avionics hardware.

The actuator handle is manufactured from a rich blend of anti-static synthetic rubber and reinforced with metals - zinc, stainless steel, nickel, die cast aluminium, and steel - combined with advanced thermoplastics and polyethylene. This hybrid construction offers excellent mechanical resistance and electrical shielding, making it suitable for applications that demand longevity and operational integrity. With a high black color finish, the handle delivers both functional and aesthetic advantages while supporting harsh industrial environments.

The product supports 156 contacts, making it ideal for systems requiring high pin counts and reliable performance over extended periods. The design meets key international standards including anti-static synthetic rubber to ASTM2BC520A14B14Z1 and thermoplastic parts are UL 94V-1 rated to ensure resistance to flame and enhanced safety. The glass-filled nylon handle ensures strong grip and ergonomic handling for operator comfort and consistent actuation. The device enables one-turn actuation, simplifying the process of connecting and disconnecting multi-contact plugs, with cam action ensuring minimal wear and long service life - verified for up to 10,000 mating cycles.

Additional construction options include backshell/strain relief and polarization features for more complex installations. Both metal and plastic plug and socket bodies can be used with this handle, and users can choose between standard and low-current contacts as their system demands. This versatility, paired with robust shielded metal construction, ensures effective operation in electromagnetic/noise-sensitive environments.

This actuator handle is most commonly applied in automotive connector assemblies but also supports medical devices, test/measurement instruments, avionics, broadcast equipment, and computer system interfaces. Its anti-static and flame retardant properties make it suitable wherever electrical safety and high mechanical reliability are required.
