D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors Housings

D-sub connectors, also known as D-shaped connectors, are used in a variety of applications and come in many different sizes, from tiny ones to very large sizes. The housings of these connectors are typically made of a metal such as aluminum, brass or stainless steel. The contacts of the connector, which can be either pins or sockets, are usually made of copper and are plated with gold or tin.

5-212518-1 Application Field and Working Principle

The 5-212518-1 is a D-sub connector housing that is specifically designed for use in applications requiring high current levels and/or vibration resistance. It is designed to be connected to mail, audio, video, digital and/or power type cables. The housing has two rows of 12 pins or sockets, arranged in a “D” shape, and it measures 1.18” in length, 0.24” in width and 0.20” in height. It is typically used in applications where maximum current levels of up to 20A and/or vibration resistance is required. It is also rated up to 150V AC/DC.

The working principle of the 5-212518-1 is quite simple, as it is designed to connect two cables of different types, such as digital and audio, or power and video. Once the cables have been connected to the housing, the two rows of contacts (pins or sockets) are lined up in such a way that they make a “D” shape. This shape allows for a secure connection between the two cables.

The 5-212518-1 provides many advantages, such as its compact size, its ability to provide a secure connection, and its vibration resistance. Additionally, its high current rating makes it ideal for applications such as automobile and industrial equipment.

Conclusion

The 5-212518-1 is a D-shaped connector housing that is specifically designed for high current levels and/or vibration resistance. It has two rows of contacts (pins or sockets) that come together in a “D” shape providing a secure connection between two cables. It is highly rated up to 20A and 150V AC/DC, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications including automobile and industrial equipment.
