D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Housings

D-sub connectors, also known as D-shaped connectors, are a type of electrical connector most commonly used for analog and digital signals. They are usually composed of two parts: a male part containing pins that are inserted into the female part, which contains sockets. The male and female parts are held in place by various types of mounting hardware, such as screws, plastic rivets, and clips.

The 216828-1 is a type of D-sub connector that is designed to work in harsh environmental conditions. This type of connector is specially designed to withstand high vibration environments, temperatures up to 200°C, and the corrosive effects of salt water and acids. It is designed to provide reliable performance even under extreme conditions.

The 216828-1 is available in two different configurations: a single-part or two-part variant. The single-part is suitable for use in single panel designs, while the two-part is designed for use in two-panel layouts. The two-part variant can also be configured with a special hinge for horizontal or vertical orientation.

The 216828-1 is a simplified version of the standard D-sub connector. It uses a stamped shield with reinforced base and has four contact points, instead of the usual nine. This makes the connector smaller, lighter, and easier to install. In addition, the contacts are wire-wrap tolerant, allowing for secure and reliable connections.

The working principle of the 216828-1 is based on the principle of electrical conduction. The male connector pins are inserted into the female sockets to form an electrical connection. The shield acts as a barrier to protect the contacts from environmental contaminants, such as moisture and dust. When the shield is in place, the contacts can be compressed by a special clamping frame, creating a secure connection.

The 216828-1 can be used in a variety of applications, including medical, industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics. It is especially well-suited for use in high-vibration environments, such as engines and motors. The 216828-1 is also ideal for use in tight spaces, as it is small and lightweight.

The 216828-1 is a reliable and durable connector that is designed to provide consistent performance even under extreme conditions. It is a cost-effective solution for applications that require reliable connections in tight spaces or harsh environments.
