securely locked in position even under
extreme vibration and shock levels.
Detent action occurs during the final 15
degrees of cam rotation and virtually
eliminates any possibility of the cam
unlocking under environmental stress.
Technical Assistance for Custom
Designs - Our engineering staff has
extensive experience in the packaging of
ZIF retainers. Modification of standard
housings, cams and spring configurations
for special design applications is frequently
possible. Contact the CTS factory in
