MINIDOCK™ features an extended guide pin design that starts alignment before contact engagement, enabling reliable self-alignment and smooth docking. This improves mating reliability and reduces the risk of contact damage caused by misaligned insertion. MINIDOCK™ offers a wide range of mating types and pin counts, including sequential contact configurations for ground, signal, and power pins.
