030-50661

D-Sub connectors, also known as D-Shaped connectors, are a popular type of specialty connectors, designed as two mating connectors with a variety of contact arrangements, sizes and dimensions. The 030-50661 is one type of D-Subminiature connectors, designed to offer reliable performance even in extreme mechanical and environmental conditions.

Applications and Uses

The 030-50661 is designed with a variety of applications in mind, from compact data communication needs to military and aviation applications. It is designed for high-durability, with the chassis’s milled from solid aluminum and the pins made of303 stainless steel, with a plug cover design made to keep out dirt, dust, and other contaminants. This makes it an excellent connector choice for industrial and military applications as well as other places where durability is essential.

The 030-50661 is also great for smaller electronics applications, such as data collection, computing, and signal connections. It is designed to be lightweight enough for many consumer applications, while still offering the same reliable performance that is expected with larger connectors.

Working Principle

The 030-50661 works on a simple principle, by utilizing a spring-loaded contact system. The contacts are inserted into the connector housing and held in place by a spring. When the plug is inserted into the receptacle, the contacts are forced outwards, making electrical contact with the contacts in the receptacle. This ensures that electrical current is reliably transferred between the two connectors.

The 030-50661 also features a floating contact system, in which the contacts do not remain fixed within the receptacle, but instead are allowed to float, allowing for better alignment of the two connectors. This ensures that a secure electrical connection is always made, even if the connectors are not perfectly aligned.

Conclusion

The 030-50661 D-Sub connectors are an excellent choice for a variety of applications, from data communication and computing to military and aerospace uses. The durable design and dependable contact system make it a reliable choice for connecting electrical components, while the floating contact system helps to ensure that a connection is always made, even if the connectors are not perfectly aligned. For these reasons, it is one of the most popular connectors on the market.
