Product Resources
UQD Series
Universal Quick Disconnect (UQD) couplings are based on an Intel inspired open specification. The Parker couplings were developed in collaboration with Intel Corporation and are fully interchangeable with other intel-approved UQD suppliers.
UQDB Series
Universal Quick Disconnect Blindmate (UQDB) based on an inspired open specification. Developed in collaboration with Intel Corporation.
NSP1 Series
NSP1 Series dry break couplings feature flat face valving virtually eliminating drips during disconnection. The compact design makes them suitable for reduced spaces in data center, rackable systems. The couplings feature a push-to-connect design allowing users to connect and disconnect the products with one hand.
CDT Series
CDT Series is a flat-face coupling designed for liquid cooling and thermal management applications for electronics, servers, and supercomputers. The CDT Series is based on the OCP, Large Quick Connector Specification, and meets these performance requirements. This is also referred to in the industry as the “LGQC”.
NSG Series
The NSG Couplings are dry-break couplings with flat face valves. The compact design makes them suitable for reduced spaces. This series has a two-hand operation, which requires both hands for connection and disconnection.
The advantages to the NSG couplings include no spillage during connection and disconnection, advanced internal design for cooling, and excellent resistance to vibrations and mechanical stresses.
ORV Series
ORV Series dry break couplings feature flat face valving virtually eliminating drips during disconnection. Blindmate Quick Connect (BMQC) is based on a Meta inspired open specification for the OCP, ORV3 rack.
The OCP inspired design allows for connections under unparalleled degrees of radial and angular misalignment. The plug half features self-centering capabilities after disconnection, to ensure a secure reconnection during operation.
