242A11210X Connectors, Interconnects

D-Sub Connectors

The 242A11210X Connector is a type of D-Sub connector that offers quick and secure connections for both standard and specialized electronic and electrical devices. It is a widely used type of D-Sub connector due to its high levels of compatibility and performance while remaining visually unobtrusive. It was primarily designed to be used in situations where space is a limiting factor, such as in small or densely packed applications.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 242A11210X Connector is widely used to create secure connections between electrical and electronic components in a range of industrial and commercial settings. It is used as a connector for DC power supplies, telecommunication systems, and other types of electrical and electronic equipment. Depending on the specific applications, the contacts may be used to join signals in the form of AC or DC current, or may be wire-wrapped. The ability to achieve secure connections with a relatively small footprint makes the d-sub connector a preferred choice in many situations.

The 242A11210X Connector utilizes a precision-engineered d-sub connector to form a secure connection. A d-sub connector is created by first physically mated two or more contact points to form a single electrical circuit. Each contact point on the d-sub connector contains a predetermined number of fingers that make contact with each other when mated. In the case of the 242A11210X Connector, this has a five-pin contact on each side that is differently indexed, meaning that they must be mated correctly to form a secure connection. Additionally, the contact tabs are slightly recessed to ensure that a full connection is made.

The d-sub connector comes with a durable, high-impact, durable plastic shell that protects the connection from outside elements, as well as helps provide a tight seal against intrusion and moisture. Additionally, the connector is designed so that it can be used in applications where space may be an issue, such as in densely packed or very small circuit boards. This helps further reduce the profile of the connector and further contribute to its wide use.

In addition to the advantages of having a small physical profile, the 242A11210X Connector also offers excellent electrical performance. It has been rated to 10-Amps, thus offering excellent levels of current carrying capacity. Additionally, the contact pins and the contact surfaces have been pre-treated with a corrosion-resistant coating, further contributing to the longevity and reliability of the connection.

Overall, the 242A11210X Connector is an excellent choice for a wide variety of electrical and electronic applications that requires reliable and secure connections in a small form factor. Its small size, high levels of performance, and easy-to-use design makes it a widely used standard in a large variety of industries and applications.
