Compact, High Clamp Card Loks

July 18, 2017
Schroff has expanded its line of Calmark Series to include high clamp replacement for previous versions.

Calmark Series 263HC, 265HC, and 267HC High Clamp Force Card Lok retainers provide an average of three times the clamping force of similarly sized Card Loks.

 

Reducing the size and weight, while effectively handling increasing power, continues to be a challenge for defense and aerospace designers and manufacturers. For board retention, engineers have faced a tradeoff between clamping force and the size of the Card Lok; historically greater clamp force has only been available with larger profile Card Loks. Larger Card Loks have traditionally required more space in the enclosure, were heavier, and consumed valuable board space. 

 

Pentair has expanded the High Clamp Force retainer family to address these challenges . Its small and light-weight design Card Loks provide board retention that is ideal for defense, space, and aerospace applications. 

 

Conveniently, the 260HC, 263HC, 265HC, and 267HC have been designed to be a drop-in replacement for most applications currently using standard 260, 263, 265, or 267 Card Loks. They have the same profile, height, mounting location and options, and optional features such as a visual indicator and lock patch.
