D-Sub Connectors

D-sub connectors, also known as D-subminiature connectors, are a family of electrical connectors commonly used in computers, communications and control systems.The 242A12960X is part of this family, and its application field and working principle will be discussed in this article.

Application Field

The 242A12960X connector is designed for RS422 applications and differential transmission over twisted pair cables. It is mainly used in industrial environments, such as process control and factory automation systems, where reliable connectors are needed. The connector is also popular in test and measurement systems, instrumentation and commercial avionics. Due to its robust construction and fast signal transmission, the 242A12960X can be used in vibration prone applications.

Working Principle

The connector is a male-to-male configuration with a 15-pole (9mm) voltage rating of 500V AC. It has two different locking systems; one for the fast attachments which locks the two parts together and the other for the housing, which ensures a secure and firm connection. The two half shells of the connector are made of polyamide reinforced with glass-fiber, and the contacts are made of brass for better electrical performance.

The connection is made up of two opposing pins that are soldered onto the board. The mechanical connection of the two pins is provided by a special design that ensures the contact force between the pins. The contact force is also enhanced by a spring-loaded mechanism, which provides a uniform contact force that distributes the load evenly over the contact surface. The electrical contact between the two pins is achieved through a rubber sleeve, which is inserted between them that provides a low resistance flow of electrons.

Conclusion

The 242A12960X connector is an excellent option for a variety of applications in demanding industrial environments. Due to its robust construction and reliable performance, it is a preferred choice for applications requiring reliable connections in vibration prone environments. Its two-locking system enables a secure plate-to-plate connection, and its rubber sleeve between the two pins enables a low resistance flow of electrons, making it an ideal choice for speed sensitive applications.
