1721487-12 REV Y

D-shaped connectors are a type of mating connector commonly used in industrial control and automation systems. Also known as D-sub connectors, they consist of two parts: a shell and a mating connector. The two parts are held together by several mechanical features, such as screws, springs, or detents, to ensure the connection remains secure. Together, the shell and mating connector form a reliable signal connection between two pieces of equipment.

The 1721487-12 REV Y is an accessory component that works with D-shaped connectors. This item is a compression clamp, which locks into the body of the connector to ensure a secure connection between the mating connector and the rear panel of the shell. The clamp is made of galvanized steel, providing durability and reliability while maintaining electrical continuity and signal integrity.

A D-shaped connector is typically used to enable the connection of electrical signals between two pieces of equipment. The D-shaped shape of the connector allows for a more secure connection when compared to other types of connectors, such as pin headers. The 1721487-12 REV Y accessory works in conjunction with the connector to ensure a secure connection between the two pieces of equipment. The clamp helps to guarantee that the connection is maintained, and provides an extra layer of protection against physical stress on the connection.

The 1721487-12 REV Y is designed for use with both standard and specialty D-shaped connectors. This means that it can be used in applications that require a higher level of signal integrity, such as those found in industrial control and automation systems. The accessory is also compatible with most D-shaped connector shell styles, making it a versatile and reliable piece of equipment.

In order to use the 1721487-12 REV Y accessory, the user must first install the connector on the rear panel of the shell. Once the connector is in place, the clamp can be secured by tightening the screw. This ensures that the connection between the shell and the mating connector remains secure. In addition, it also helps to protect the connection from physical stress, such as vibration or movement.

The 1721487-12 REV Y accessory is an essential component for any D-shaped connector installation. It guarantees that the connection between the mating connector and the shell remains secure, while also providing protection against physical stress. By ensuring a secure connection between the two pieces of equipment, this accessory helps to ensure reliable signal transmission and electrical continuity in industrial control and automation systems.
