1123632-5

Connectors are electrical components responsible for connecting two areas of acircuit together, thus enabling the establishment of a desired current path. Theyare available in a large variety of designs and shapes. The 1123632-5 connector isa subMiniature D-type (D-sub) rectangular connector housing, allowing it to fulfillessential connection needs and applications.

The 1123632-5 connector is part of the family of D-subminiature connectors,which are characterized for their ability to make contact through two rows of thinrounded pins and are generally employed when the application requires more thanjust a few contacts. This rectangular housing connector is composed of two parts:the shell and the hood. The shell has a molded plastic with built-in strain reliefwhich protects the cable, while the hood provides also protection of the wirestrain relief when used in outdoor applications.

The shell of the 1123632-5 connector comprises a 9-pin insertion module(which has two mounting holes that secure the connector strength) plus a set of latcheswhich provides secure operation, shock protection and resistance to overload. Thehood provides additional protection to the contact pins and is equipped with amating latch for ease of use. The connector has a property of having shieldedversions available, reinforced with a 360° grounding sleeve for use in a noisyenvironment.

The working principle of the 1123632-5 connector consists of two interfacingpairs of D-subminiature connectors, the male and female side of the samemating connectors. They both have contacts that engage into each other when fixedtogether, ensuring the create a secure electrical connection. Male pins and femalesockets are found on the opposite sides of the connection. The pins of the maleconnector mate to the sockets of the female connector, and are tightened when themale and female headers are fastened together with the screws and clamps.

The capability of the 1123632-5 connector housings to provide protection needsfor sensitive control systems, makes them the perfect component for a wide rangeof applications such as medical, office automation, automotive, test and instrumentationfields. Connector housings like this can be found in numerous electronic communicationequipments, robotics, aerospace, manufacturing and many other industries.
