1 General
1.1 General information.
The DENSI-SHIELD I/O TM connector system consists of fully EMC shielded cable and connector
assemblies for use in a CO (Central Office) environment, to provide an interconnection path for single
ended or differential signals at a density of maximum 16 lines or 8 shielded AWG26 twin-axial pairs on
minimum 12,5mm board edge and minimum 15 mm component printed circuit board spacing.
The cable and board connector modules are tightened together by means of a locking screw and both
consist of a contact unit and shielding covers made out of sheet metal and die-cast components. The
contact unit in the cable connector unit consists of a number of stacked terminal blocks, which one on one
mate with IMLA’s (Insert Molded Lead Assemblies) of the one-piece SMT compatible board connector.
Each terminal block has 4 terminals for signals and 1 terminal for ground. The cable connector module has
a built-in cable strain relief.

If any of the following conditions occur, the responsible product engineer sh all initiate re-qualification testing
consisting of all applicable parts of the qualification test matrix, Table 6.
a) A significant design change is made to the existing product, which impacts the product form, fit or
function. Examples of significant changes shall include, but not be limited to, changes in the cable layout,
plating, material composition or thickness, contact force, pin/contact surface geometry, insulator or
housing design, pin/conta ct base material or pin/contact lubrication.
b) A significant change is made to the manufacturing process, which impacts the product form, fit or function.
c) A significant event occurs during production or end use requiring corrective action to be taken relative to
the product design or manufactu ring p ro ce ss
