The MiniBridge Koshiri Security connectors feature a unique housing design with distinctive guides that prevent mismating and protect exposed contact pins. Also known as “scoop proof”, the pin contacts are recessed sufficiently so they cannot be damaged if the mating connector shell is “scooped” into it during the mating process. More specifically, the MiniBridge Koshiri […]
