D-Sub Connectors - 171-050-202-001 Application Field and Working Principle

D-Sub connectors are part of the D-subminiature connector family. This type of connector is widely used in various industries, including computers, communications, and industrial control. It is characterized by the letter “D” which stands for the dielectric material inside the connector.

Application Field

DB connectors can be used in both analog and digital applications. It is frequently used in PC systems, for data transmission and communication purposes. It is also used in office automation, telecommunication, high speed data transmission, and industrial automation. Supported types of connectors include serial, analog-to-digital, digital-to-analog, and audio/video.

Working Principle

The DB connector features a dielectric body and a conductive shell, which forms the connector’s main body. D-Sub connectors use a common shell design with two mating halves. The shell enclosure consists of three components - the mating adapter, the dielectric body, and the attachment screws. The dielectric body provides high electrical isolation between the pins and is designed to provide electromagnetic shielding. The dielectric body is also used as a key reference for the correct mating of the two connectors.

Inside the connector, there are several component parts. These parts include the standard contacts, terminals, clips, insulation, and contact pins. These components are all designed to provide high electrical performance for various system requirements. The shell is drilled with holes in which the contacts are mounted. The contact pins attach to the dielectric body in their respective holes.

Once the connectors are assembled, they are then soldered together. This soldering process will ensure that the contacts will not disintegrate under the pressure of the plugging action. Finally, the nuts, washers, and screws are placed in the drilled holes of the shell, and the open and closed settings of the switch are tested.

Conclusion

The 171-050-202-001 is a high-quality D-Sub connector. It is manufactured using high-grade materials to ensure reliable performance. The dielectric body provides excellent electrical isolation and electromagnetic shielding. The connector can be used in both digital and analog applications, such as high speed data transmission, office automation, telecommunication, and industrial automation. In addition, the connectors can be soldered for increased reliability and durability.
