Soft shell connectors offer economy, reliability
These families of multi-lead connectors include round (pin and socket) and rectangular (blade and receptacle) contact styles.
Soft shell power and signal interconnects provide a reliable and economical means of grouping multiple-lead connections in today's appliance, computer, or industrial and commercial applications.
