1727040148 Connectors, Interconnects

D-sub, D-shaped connectors are a type of electrical connector which has different types of contacts configurations. This type of connector includes hoods or mounts that hold the contacts in place. The hoods and mounts are typically made of zinc or aluminum, and they are secured together with screws, rivets, or other fastening devices. The contact terminals are usually made of brass or copper, and are usually gold-plated. These contacts are often mounted on a board or frame, which allows them to be easily connected to other contacts on the same board or frame.

The contacts of the D-sub connector usually come in two types: male and female. The male contacts are typically pins, while the female contacts are generally receptacles. The pins and receptacles are typically designed to allow for a certain degree of electrical current to pass through them. The pins and receptacles are usually soldered to the main body of the connector.

The contacts of the D-sub connector also vary in size. They range from very small to larger sizes, which are designed for specific applications. The pins and the receptacles in the smaller sizes are typically designed to deal with lower electrical currents, while the larger contacts are designed to deal with higher electrical currents. The electrical currents that are handled by the two types of contacts are usually determined by the contact size as well as the connector type.

The working principle of the D-sub connector is quite simple. It consists of a housing in which the contacts are held in place by the hoods or the mounts. The contacts are then connected to electrical circuits through wires or other electrical conductors. The contacts are then soldered to the board or frame, so that electrical current can flow through the connectors. The electrical current passing through the contacts is then converted into a signal that can be read by the connected device.

These connectors are used in various types of applications. They are especially useful in computer systems where they help to transfer data between different components. They are also often used in electronic devices such as televisions, radios, and portable music players. These connectors are also used in audio systems, where they are used to connect sound equipment to an amplifier or speaker system.

The D-sub connector is a very versatile type of connector. It is available in a variety of sizes and contact configurations, depending on the specific application for which it is being used. Its simple design and wide range of applications make it an ideal choice for many electrical systems.
