D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Housings

The 215717-1 is a connector housing designed for use with D-sub, D-shaped connectors. This type of connector consists of two pieces, the plug and the connector, which are generally used to form a male-female connection. The plug connects to a device or another cable, while the connector is the stationary half of the connection. D-sub connectors are most commonly used in audio and video applications, but they can also be used in communications, automotive, and other industries.

The 215717-1 connector housing is designed to provide a robust and reliable connection. It is made from thermoplastic, a material which is both durable and resistant to corrosion. The housing has two halves, one for the plug and one for the connector. It also has several features built-in, such as cavities, locks, and ports. The cavities securely hold the pins in place, while the locks provide a secure connection. The ports allow for quick and easy access to the pins if needed. The housing also has a handle, which is used to unlock and remove the connector from its host. Additionally, the housing has a cap to protect the pins from damage or dirt.

To ensure a proper connection, the 215717-1 connector housing must be installed correctly. First, the plug must be inserted into the connector. Then, the connector must be seated into the housing and the locking pin must be properly engaged. To secure the connection, the handle should be turned clockwise and locked in place. After the connection is secure, the pins should be checked to ensure that they are properly terminated. If necessary, a crimping tool can be used to ensure that the wires are properly connected.

Once installed, the 215717-1 connector housing is designed to provide reliable performance in a variety of applications. It is strong and durable, and can handle high temperatures and pressures. Additionally, its design allows for easy access to the pins and it is resistant to dust and moisture. In short, the 215717-1 connector housing is a great choice for projects requiring reliable and robust connections.
