D-Sub Connectors

D-sub connectors, such as the 179-025-613R671, are a family of electrical connectors used commonly for data and signal applications. These connectors are typically found in applications involving computer, audio/visual, and other low-level electronic connections, but in some cases, they can be used for low-voltage AC or DC power applications as well.

Types of D-Sub Connectors

The most common types of D-sub connectors are the keyed (locked) and unkeyed (unlocked) varieties, which come in a variety of sizes. Common sizes are 9-pin, 15-pin, 25-pin, and 37-pin, although other sizes may also be available. Each type has unique characteristics, and specific measurements are given based on the arrangement of pins or holes.

179-025-613R671 Application Field and Working Principle

The 179-025-613R671 D-sub connector is designed for industrial applications, including communications systems, medical equipment, vending machines, and a variety of other commercial applications. This type of connector is used to transmit electrical signals from one device to another through a variety of protocols. It is also used as a low-voltage/DC power source.

The 179-025-613R671 connector has two rows of eight pins, in which each pin connects to a corresponding pin in the device that the connector is plugged into. The pins are then connected to the internal wiring, which transmits the signals. The pins are identified using a code that references their locations, with each pin being numbered accordingly.

When two connectors are mated, the pins align, create a secure connection, and allow the signals to be transmitted from one device to another. To ensure a secure connection and reliable transmission, the pins on the connectors must fit precisely. The 179-025-613R671 targets this issue by using a locking mechanism that holds the pins within the connector.

Additional Features of D-Sub Connectors

Certain applications may require the use of additional types of D-sub connectors. These connectors have features such as the ability to handle multiple pins and/or larger cable sizes than the standard sizes. Additionally, some connectors may have additional features such as waterproofing and EMI shielding for applications that require higher levels of protection.

Other types of D-sub connectors also come in two-piece designs, which consist of a backshell and connector that are joined together. This type of connector is slightly more expensive than the one-piece design, but it offers greater flexibility in assembly and the ability to repair damaged connectors more easily.

Conclusion

The 179-025-613R671 D-sub connector is well-suited for low-level signal and power applications, as well as more robust applications that require additional features. Its locking mechanism ensures secure and reliable data transfer, and its metal shell provides superior durability in high-vibration and corrosive environments. This type of connector is a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
