Quick Connect/Disconnect Connector Configurations
TRU Corporation Quick-Connect/Disconnect RF interface provides reliable mating with fast connect/disconnect
capability. These interfaces feature a positive locking mechanism employing a spring-loaded sleeve on the male
plug that is drawn back to let self-contained bearings “click” into grooves on the mating female receptacle, and
slide forward. A fully mated and safe condition is visually represented with full coverage of our TRU-Redline™
indicator. These designs provide exceptionally fast and reliable hand mating that will not vibrate loose.

SIMPLE NAVIGATION
With the new TRU online
Cable Configurator
you can build the right
cable assembly for your
specific requirements.
The Cable Configurator
takes you through a series
of filtered fields where
you specify your Primary
Application, Length
and Frequency.
Choose either TRU Standard
specs or specify your own
electrical, mechanical or
environmental specs.
From there you specify connector
and cable types.
ADAPTS FOR USE ON LAPTOPS AND MOBILE DEVICES
