The D-Sub, or D-shaped subminiature connectors, are also referred to as D-Shaped Connectors. These connectors have been around since the 1950’s when they were used to connect communication cables for telephones and data. They are also used today for connecting video and audio equipment. These connectors consists of two metal shells which contain the contacts that make the electrical connection. Backshells and hoods are two components of the D-Sub connector which play an important role in protecting and protecting the contacts from damage. Here, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 206471-1 D-Sub connector.

Application Field

The 206471-1 D-Sub connector is a high-frequency connector designed for telecommunications and data transfer applications. This connector is designed to be used in applications with transmission frequencies up to 40GHz. It is often used in antenna applications, as it is able to provide good electrical and mechanical performance in extreme temperature environments. In addition, it is also used in the automotive industry, as it is able to provide reliable long-term connections in harsh automotive settings.

Backshells

A backshell is a type of mechanical component which is used to protect and provide strain relief to the electrical contacts of a cable or connector. It is an essential for ensuring reliability and life expectancy of a cable connector. The 206471-1 D-Sub connector is equipped with a two-piece cast aluminum backshell. The two halves are connected by four screws and provide a secure connection. The backshell protects the connector contacts from dust, dirt, moisture, and vibration so that they maintain electrical integrity and are less prone to failure.

Hoods

Hoods are another type of mechanical component which are connected to the backshell and provide protection for the connector contacts. The 206471-1 D-Sub connector is equipped with a die cast aluminum hood which is designed to protect the connector from corrosion, dust, dirt, and other environmental factors. The hood also provides mechanical strain relief for the cable. In addition, the hood provides EMI/RFI shielding to ensure that signals are not interfered with.

Working Principle

The 206471-1 D-Sub connector consists of two metal shells which contain the contacts that make the electrical connection. The connector bodies are made from high-quality aluminum which is precision machined to provide an exacting fit. On the inside of the shells, there are a number of contact pins which are designed to securely connect to the mating connector. The contact pins are made from a conductive material such as copper, copper alloy, or tin plating. The contact pins provide a reliable electrical connection between the two connectors.

When two connectors are mated, the contact pins in each connector are pushed together and form a secure and reliable electrical connection. The contact pins are held in place by terminal locks which ensure that the contacts remain secure in the connector. This helps to ensure a reliable connection by preventing contact pins from coming loose during operation. In addition, the contacts are further protected from damage and corrosion by the backshell and hood which form an enclosure around the connector.
