The DMM AmericanO ANSI is DMM’s first ANSI-compliant oval connector, designed for applications where predictable loading, a generous size, and secure locking performance are important. Its true oval shape provides consistent loading characteristics, while the larger dimensions make it practical to operate when wearing gloves.
Available with Kwiklock ANSI and Locksafe ANSI locking gate options, the AmericanO ANSI offers different auto-locking mechanisms to suit specific user requirements. Both ANSI variants are designed to meet additional performance requirements for minor-axis, side-load, and gate-face testing.

True Oval Shape
The DMM AmericanO ANSI features a true oval shape designed to provide predictable loading. Its symmetrical profile makes it a practical connector for applications where consistent positioning and loading characteristics are important.
Large Design for Gloved Use
With dimensions of 71 x 114mm, the AmericanO ANSI provides a generous form factor that is suitable for use while wearing gloves. The large gate opening also provides convenient access when connecting equipment.
Kwiklock ANSI
The Kwiklock ANSI is an auto-locking gate that requires two distinct actions to open. In addition to the standard Kwiklock gate action, the ANSI version is required to exceed 16kN in minor-axis, side-load, and gate-face tests.
It has a 21mm gate opening and weighs 102g.
Locksafe ANSI
The Locksafe ANSI uses an auto-locking gate requiring three distinct actions to open. Like the Kwiklock ANSI version, it is required to exceed 16kN in minor-axis, side-load, and gate-face tests.
The Locksafe ANSI weighs 101g and has an 18mm gate opening.
Strong and Certified Construction
Both versions provide a 25kN major-axis MBS, 16kN minor-axis MBS, and 7kN gate-open MBS. The AmericanO ANSI is certified to EN362:2004 B, EN12275:2013 B, ANSI/ASSE Z359.12-2019, and CAN/CSA Z259.12-16.
