164A07039A

D-Sub connectors refer to electrical connectors with a metal shell built around a number of contacts. Specifically, the 164A07039A is a rugged panel-mount D-Sub male connector with a stainless steel shell and gold-plated press-fit contacts. This type of connector is often used in applications where a durable electrical connection is needed, such as in industrial automation, military, aerospace, and medical equipment.

The 164A07039A has a shell size of 39 and a total of 19 contacts. It is available in three different pin combinations: 9+9, 7+7+5, and 9+7+3. The connector is designed for use with wire sizes ranging from AWG #20 to #30 (0.5 to 1.5 mm2). Its operating temperature range is -40 to +105 °C.

To ensure stability and secure mating, the 164A07039A features an integrated metal locking collar, in addition to two plastic and two metal panel locking screws. The contacts are arranged in two rows with right-angle bodies, and have contact mating lengths of 2.3 mm. They are rated at a maximum operating voltage of 250 VAC and a maximum current rating of 10 A.

The overall length of the 164A07039A is 57.8 mm, and the connector requires a panel cut out of 23.6 mm. It is fully compliant with military specifications, such as MIL-DTL-22992 and MIL-DTL-55519, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

In terms of its working principle, the 164A07039A is fairly simple. When mated, the female connector pushes the contacts on the male connector outwards, causing them to make contact with the female connector’s contacts and create an electrical connection. This connection is maintained until the female connector is disconnected from the male connector, which breaks the connection and releases the contacts.

Overall, the 164A07039A is a rugged, durable D-Sub connector which is suitable for a variety of applications ranging from industrial automation to military equipment. It features a locking collar for secure mating and contacts rated at 250 VAC and 10 A. Its working principle is simple, requiring only that the female connector be pushed onto the male connector to establish an electrical connection.
