D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Housings
1688861 is a type of D-sub connector, which is a common type of electrical connector characterized by their molded resin housing and their characteristic D-shaped metal shield. The 1688861 retains the same number of contact positions as the standard D-shaped connector, with a separate housing that offers added protection from dust, moisture, and other environmental conditions. The shield also helps to ensure that the contacts are properly mated and the connection is reliable.
D-sub connectors come in many different sizes and configurations to fit different applications, and the 1688861 is designed for use in industrial applications that require a more robust connector. It features a hardened plastic cover with PVC grommet inserts that can help protect the contacts from damage due to vibration or shock, as well as helping to reduce the amount of EMI generated by the connections. The contacts also feature a stainless steel shield to help reduce EMI further.
The 1688861 has a die-cast aluminum body which is resistant to corrosion and provides excellent electrical insulation. The design also features a large terminal that helps to ensure reliable connections, as well as a pin pattern that allows for easier cable management. The connector\'s contacts are constructed from gold-plated copper, which helps to provide maximum conductivity and reliable contact mating.
The 1688861 is a versatile and reliable connector that can be used in a variety of industrial and electronic applications. Its rugged design and gold-plated contacts make it suitable for use in harsh environments, and its large terminal and pin pattern provide reliable connections and easy cable management. The connector\'s sealed housing also provides excellent protection from dust, moisture, and other environmental conditions, making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of industrial applications.
