206795-3

In the most recent standard for D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors, the model 206795-3 has become a popular and widely used connector for many applications. As such, it is important to understand the contact and field of application that it is typically used in and the working principle that it utilizes.

The 206795-3 is a double-ended connector that has two male terminals with a central column which includes two female receptacle contacts. This design is most commonly found in field applications where it serves as a major pivot point for two conductors, such as power supplies or electronic circuits. It is also commonly employed as an input or output port in industrial automation machinery. The contact type employed is typically a three position crimp style, gold plated to ensure efficient electrical contact. It also typically includes cable clamp and strain relief features.

The working principle of the 206795-3 is fairly straightforward. When a conductor is inserted into one of the female receptacle contact, the connector will compress thus ensuring a secure connection. This connection also applies in the opposite direction, as when the conductor is inserted into the other female contact, the connector will again compress and thus secure the connection. The resulting compression also helps to ensure a low electrical resistance. In addition, the gold plated contacts provide an optimized electrical conductivity, allowing them to act as a two-way transmission between circuits. This design also reduces the risk of short circuiting and other electrical issues.

In conclusion, the 206795-3 connector is a versatile and popular connector for many applications. It is specifically designed for use in field applications and can be used to effect the transmission of power or signals between two circuits. This is typically accomplished with a three position crimp style contact which is gold plated to ensure efficient electrical contact. The working principle of the 206795-3 involves using compression to secure the connection ensuring a low electrical resistance. In addition, the gold plating helps to optimize the electrical conductivity allowing this connector to act as a two-way transmission between circuits.
