D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Contacts

The 170-201-170L003 connector is one of the many types of electrical connectors, and in particular one type of D-subminiature connectors, or more broadly, D-sub contacts. These types of contacts are part of D-sub categorized connectors, which consist of two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets usually surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield.

Definition: By definition, a D-sub connector is a multi-pin connector with a standard form factor that typically includes two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield. The shield helps provide a path for signal and/or power ground connection.

Application: The 170-201-170L003 connector is used in a variety of applications, ranging from computers to various industrial and medical equipment. In computer applications, D-sub contacts are typically used to connect the monitor from the computer, the mouse from the computer, and other peripherals. In medical applications, D-sub contacts are used to connect various electronic items to a medical laboratory or imaging equipment. In industrial applications, these types of connectors are used to connect audio/video cables, control cables, electronic circuit elements, and other types of electrical equipment.

Working Principle: The working principle of the 170-201-170L003 connector involves a pair of pins, or sockets, with one side of each pin or socket having a socket pin protruding from its surface. The socket pin acts as a contact between the two pins and allows an electrical connection to be established when the pins are inserted into each other. Once the pins have made contact, an electrical circuit is then created, allowing the electrical energy to flow between the two pins.

The 170-201-170L003 connector is a versatile connector and is well suited for use in various applications. Its simple design and durable construction make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. Although D-sub connectors are relatively simple to use and install, they do require careful attention to detail in order to ensure a reliable connection.
