D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Housings

212506-1 is part of a family of D-subminiature connectors, which are also commonly known as D-Sub connectors. These are electrical connectors that are used in various application areas and designed to meet standard requirements for audio, video, analog, digital, and power signals. This type of connector has a D-shaped housing and is used in a wide range of applications such as communications equipment, data processing, and medical imaging. It is also commonly used in peripheral devices such as digital cameras, video players, and other multimedia equipment.

The 212506-1 is a two-piece connector that consists of a plastic housing and metal contacts. The housing is made from an injected thermoplastic material and is designed to meet standard dimensional requirements. The contacts are made from a nickel-plated brass material. The housing is designed to provide protection against electrostatic discharges, as well as providing a secure connection between the male and female connectors. The connector is also rated for up to 500V at 10A and has an impedance of less than 400 milliohms.

The working principle is simple and straightforward. When the two connector pieces are mated, a mechanical contact is established and an electrical connection is formed. The contact is protected from electrostatic discharges by the housing, which prevents any unwanted signal disturbance. The metal contacts are designed to be resilient and provide excellent electrical connections.

The 212506-1 is commonly used in data processing equipment, computers, audio/video equipment, peripheral devices, medical imaging machines, and communication networks. This type of connector is relatively inexpensive and is available in both standard and custom configurations. It is also available in various sizes and colors, making it easy to match with various types of equipment.

The 212506-1 is a versatile and reliable connector that is suitable for a variety of applications. It provides a secure connection and is designed to protect against electrical interference. This makes it an ideal choice for many applications.
