Universal GDS Uni-Conn Dock RAM-GDS-DOCK-U1CPU

The RAM-GDS-DOCK-U1CPU is a GDS® Uni-Conn™ Dock with Release Lever designed for compatible IntelliSkin®-wrapped devices. This Universal GDS Uni-Conn Dock provides a clip-in, quick-release docking solution with integrated pogo pins for power delivery.

The dock uses a USB Type-C female connector for power input and requires the GDS® Uni-Conn™ Adapter on the compatible IntelliSkin-wrapped device. The device snaps into the dock and can be released by pushing the integrated lever.

What Is the RAM-GDS-DOCK-U1CPU?

The RAM-GDS-DOCK-U1CPU is a universal GDS® Uni-Conn™ powered dock with a fixed dock height and release lever.

It is designed to work with devices protected by an IntelliSkin® sleeve when the appropriate GDS® Uni-Conn™ Adapter is installed. Once the compatible device is positioned in the dock, the integrated pogo pins provide power to the device.

The dock includes a lever stop as part of the supplied hardware. RAM Mounts states that the lever stop is required for the dock to function properly and that the dock warranty is void if it is used without the lever stop.

Key Features of the Universal GDS Uni-Conn Dock

Snap-In Docking

The dock provides a clip-in docking solution for compatible IntelliSkin-wrapped devices. The device is placed into the base of the dock and pushed into position until it snaps into place.

Release Lever

The integrated release lever provides the mechanism for undocking the tablet. Pushing the lever releases the docked device.

Integrated Pogo Pins

The dock uses an integrated pogo-pin connector to provide power to the docked device. The pogo-pin connection is enabled through the USB Type-C female power input.

USB Type-C Power Input

A USB Type-C female connector provides power input to the dock. The current official specification lists an output range of 5V–20V @ 3A with a maximum power output of 60W.

IntelliSkin Compatibility

The dock is designed for devices wrapped in an IntelliSkin® protective sleeve with the required GDS® Uni-Conn™ Adapter installed.

Compatibility

The current RAM Mounts compatibility information for this fixed-height dock includes:

• Samsung Tab A 7 Lite
• Samsung Tab A 8.4
• Samsung Tab S9 FE
• Samsung Tab S9 FE+
• Samsung Tab Active5
• Samsung Tab Active3
• Samsung Tab A9+

The compatible device must be wrapped in the appropriate IntelliSkin® protective sleeve and have the GDS® Uni-Conn™ Adapter installed.

The dock should not be described as compatible with every IntelliSkin device. Compatibility depends on the fixed dock height and the device-specific IntelliSkin and Uni-Conn configuration.

How the Universal GDS Uni-Conn Dock Works

The RAM-GDS-DOCK-U1CPU uses a simple snap-in docking process.

First, the compatible tablet must have an IntelliSkin® protective sleeve with the GDS® Uni-Conn™ Adapter installed. The IntelliSkin-wrapped device is then placed into the base of the dock and pushed into position.

Once docked, the integrated pogo pins provide power to the device. Power enters the dock through the USB Type-C female connector.

To undock the device, the user pushes the release lever. The lever releases the tablet from the docking position.

Fixed Dock Height

The RAM-GDS-DOCK-U1CPU uses a fixed dock height. This means compatibility should be checked against the specific devices listed by RAM Mounts rather than assumed from the general IntelliSkin or Uni-Conn product family.

The current official compatibility list includes Samsung Tab A 7 Lite, Tab A 8.4, Tab S9 FE, Tab S9 FE+, Tab Active5, Tab Active3, and Tab A9+.

Lever Stop Requirement

The included lever stop is an important component of the RAM-GDS-DOCK-U1CPU.

RAM Mounts states that the lever stop is required for the dock to function properly. The manufacturer also states that the dock warranty is void if the dock is used without the lever stop.

The included hardware contains:

• One lever stop
• Two #8-32 x 1″ machine screws
• Two #8-32 Nyloc nuts
• One cable clamp kit

Additional Product Consideration

RAM Mounts states that GDS® Uni-Conn™ snap-in docks are not recommended for open-cockpit applications such as forklifts. For extreme applications, RAM Mounts recommends considering the GDS® Tough-Dock™ instead.

This distinction is important when selecting between different GDS docking platforms because the Uni-Conn snap-in dock and Tough-Dock are intended for different application requirements.
