Easy and Simple Plug-In Process
The precise design of the apex area keeps the SKEDD contact elastic to guarantee a low insertion force, even for connectors with a high number of pins.

Reversible Connection
The flexible fork-type arms of the SKEDD contact adapt in an elastic way to the plated through-hole to realize multiple mating cycles.
