Zipbolt UT Mini-KD Connector – 6 x 30 mm

The 12.601 Zipbolt UT Mini-KD Connector provides a compact and secure joining solution that surpasses traditional cam lock connectors. Its enhanced tensioning design ensures long-term stability, preventing joints from loosening over time. With a 6 mm screw shaft that fits directly into a 5 mm borehole and a diecast housing tightened with a 4 mm hex bit or screwdriver, this connector offers both strength and precision in a small form factor.

The open-cut design allows for easy access and quick installation, making it ideal for modern CNC or manual furniture assembly applications that require a clean, durable, and efficient fastening system.

Steps

1. Prepare the Material

   • Drill a 5 mm hole where the connector will be installed.

   • Ensure the borehole depth is at least 12.5 mm (31/64 in) and free of debris.

2. Insert the Shaft

   • Screw the 6 mm shaft of the Mini-KD connector into the pre-drilled hole until snug.

3. Align the Components

   • Position the mating parts carefully to ensure proper alignment and fit.

4. Secure the Housing

   • Install the diecast housing over the connector and tighten with a 4 mm hex bit or screwdriver.

   • Avoid overtightening to prevent exceeding the 10 Nm torque limit.

5. Final Check

   • Verify the connection is firm, flush, and stable under load.

   • Confirm no visible gaps or movement between joined parts.

Tips

• Suitable for materials with thickness greater than 13.5 mm.

• Works in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

• For disassembly, loosen connectors alternately and gradually.
