A1 Series Twist-Lock Handpiece-End Connector
The A1 Series Twist-Lock connector — the handpiece-side half of the A1 interface — is supplied in black. The A1 uses a knurled twist-lock collar: a quarter turn seats the plug, and the same quarter turn releases it. The plug side carries a panel-mount frame with a sealing gasket, so the interface stays closed when the handpiece is unplugged.
- Matched handpiece-end connector for systems that need frequent handpiece changes
- Keyed shell — mates one way only, no reversed insertion
- Multi-pin signal block + power contacts carried in a single mated pair
- Black housing; flexible or rigid hose
- OEM colour, logo and pin-out options on request

Overview
The A1 Series Twist-Lock connector — the handpiece-side half of the A1 interface — is supplied in black. The A1 uses a knurled twist-lock collar: a quarter turn seats the plug, and the same quarter turn releases it. The plug side carries a panel-mount frame with a sealing gasket, so the interface stays closed when the handpiece is unplugged.
It is used on systems that need frequent handpiece changes, such as multi-application platforms and demo units. Contacts are arranged in a signal block alongside two heavy-duty power paths, so control lines and handpiece power travel through one connector instead of two cables. It is the usual choice where operators swap handpieces several times a day and want the connection to be obvious by feel, even with gloves on.
Specify the pair by series, not by part: A1 plugs and handpiece-end connectors are checked as a set before packing.

Frequently asked questions
Which machines does this connector fit?
It is designed for systems that need frequent handpiece changes, such as multi-application platforms and demo units. Interface compatibility depends on the pin-out and keying of your handpiece, so send us a photo of the mating socket or the machine model before ordering; we will confirm the match in writing.
Is this a complete connector or half of a pair?
This listing is the handpiece-end half. The mating plug half is a separate part number; order both for a guaranteed keyed pair.
Can you supply samples before a bulk order?
Yes. Samples are available for evaluation, and the sample cost is normally credited against the first production order.
Can the colour, logo or pin-out be customised?
Housing colour and laser marking are tooling-dependent and can be quoted; pin-out changes require a minimum quantity because they change the contact block.
What is the MOQ and lead time?
Both depend on the series and configuration. Send your annual volume and target date and we will return a firm quotation with a production schedule.
