D-Sub Connectors

D-Sub connectors are electrical connectors which utilize a combination of pins and/or sockets arranged in a D-shape. They are one of the most popular and versatile family of connectors in the industry and are widely used in communications, computers, consumer electronics, industrial automation and military applications.

The 174215-2 D-Sub connector belongs to a family of 15-pin connectors and is primarily used for the reference of standard audio/visual applications, namely audio and video transport over a variety of cable in the broadcast engineering domain. More specifically, this connector is used for interfaces between parallel video transmission systems or for the interface between a video signal and its associated audio signal.

Application Field and Working Principle of 174215-2 Connectors

The 174215-2 connector is primarily used in Audiovisual applications and interfaces between parallel video transmission systems. Video signals are transmitted over the 15 pins in analog form (via analog voltage). The audio signals, usually stereo, are transmitted in analog form, one channel per pin. This is done by connecting a single mono-audio signal to a pair of pins. This connector can also be used for analogue RGB video and component video interfaces.

The connector consists of a die-cast metal enclosure with 15-pole male and female contacts. The contacts are machined so they form a zero loss connection when mated. The contacts are arranged in three rows and are gold plated for superior electrical and mechanical contact. This ensures reliable connectivity and excellent conductivity for transmitting video and audio signals.

The 174215-2 connector has a locking mechanism which prevents accidental disconnections, providing a robust and reliable connection. It has a circular locking system which ensures that the male and female connectors are perfectly aligned before a connection is made. This ensures no data loss or interference in the signal being transmitted.

The main advantage of this type of connector is its versatility. It can be used for a variety of applications including standard audio/video transport, component video, digital audio, analogue video, and analogue RGB video. This makes it a great choice for a wide range of applications. It is also robust and reliable, making it suitable for use in professional broadcast setups.

The 174215-2 connector is an important part of the audio/video industry, providing a reliable and versatile interface between video equipment and other audio/video systems. It is a reliable and secure connection which provides high quality audio and video signals without any data loss or interference.
