D-Sub Connectors

D-sub connectors consist of two parts, the mating pair of plugs and the receptacle. Both typically contain multiple parallel contacts. The contacts are generally medium to large in size and usually selectable to either male or female gender. The connectors are widely used in personal computers and data communications applications.

1731090160 application field and working principle

D-sub connectors are used mainly in applications where connector housings must carry data rate signals, with typical uses including RS232, RS422, Ethernet and SCSI communications. These connectors are available in a range of sizes and contact configurations, allowing the designer to choose the most inspired solution for any particular application.

The 1731090160 D-Sub connector is a two-piece right-angle semi-hard molded D-Subminiature connector. This type of connector is ideal for use in applications where space is limited, such as in audio/visual, automotive, data communication and medical applications. It features 2 row hoods with latching cover contacts, integrated ground and signal contacts, and provides superior durability and reliability.

The 1731090160 D-Sub connector utilizes a two-way "press-fit" connection to ensure a secure mating between the two connector halves. It is specifically designed to provide reliable contact between the soldered pins and the contact terminal. The soldered pins provide an electrical connection between the contact terminal and the printed circuit board, while the contact terminal provides a physical connection which provides strain relief to guard against damage when the cable is pulled or moved.

The 1731090160 has a mating style that is compatible with standard D-subminiature connectors. The terminals feature 2-73 contacts per row with a contact pitch of 0.1 inches, allowing for higher density cabling. The contacts feature zinc-plated and stamped-and-formed construction and are capable of transmitting up to 0.5A of current at 60V DC.

In addition, the 1731090160 D-Sub connectors are UL- approved and feature a standard latching cover which helps ensure a secure connection. The connectors are also compatible with standard sheet metal screws for added protection and are RoHS compliant. The fully assembled connectors are packaged with a dust cap to ensure a safe and reliable connection.
