242A20810X Connectors, Interconnects

The 242A20810X is part of Amphenol\'s range of D-Sub connectors. D-Sub connectors are standard type of mechanical connectors used for interconnecting computer systems and electronic devices. This type of connector, which is also known as a D-Subminiature connector, includes pin, socket, board-to-board, and cable mount configurations.

The 242A20810X D-Sub connector is designed to fit tightly together for an electrical connection that is both secure and reliable. The connector is composed of a metal shell which can be male and female, plug or jack, protruding pins, and integrated plastic insulating inserts. The pins on the male side of the connector insert into corresponding female connectors, and the insulating inserts ensure that power can only be transferred between the connected pins.

As an example of a specific application field, the 242A20810X can be used in a variety of computer systems, including personal computers, servers, and gaming systems. It is also used in many consumer electronics like Blu-ray players, TVs, and camcorders. The D-Sub connector can also be used in a range of medical equipment and industrial control systems.

The working principle behind the 242A20810X D-Sub connector is relatively simple. When two compatible connectors are connected, the pins on the male side of the connector insert into the corresponding holes in the female side, creating an electrical connection. The plastic insulating inserts ensure that only those pins with compatible connectors can connect properly, as well as providing insulation from one wire to another.

The 242A20810X is a versatile and reliable connector that is used in a variety of applications, including computer systems, consumer electronics, medical equipment, and industrial control systems. The working principle of the connector is straightforward, and its design ensures a secure connection with the potential for future modifications.
