552079-1 Connectors, Interconnects

D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors – Backshells, Hoods are a type of connector commonly used in a multitude of electronics applications.

At the most basic level, a D-Sub is a standard connector that allows two electronic devices to communicate. It features multiple pins or contacts arranged in a specific pattern that when inserted into a corresponding socket, establishes an electrical connection between the two. The pins are usually arranged in two rows--hence the “D” shape--with the same number of contacts in each row. Variants feature different numbers of pins, however.

The most common type of D-sub connector is the 552079-1, which features a two rowed configuration with 37 pins in each row. It is a "high density" D-subminiature. The mating end of the connectors has a plastic end cap that allows the mating of two male and female ends. It can also be used as an electrical shielding method.

The 552079-1 is a very popular and versatile component, and finds use in a variety of applications, including but not limited to computer hardware, telecommunications and other industrial applications. This type of connector is also widely used in consumer electronics and automotive applications, such as CD players, audio/video equipment, and car stereo systems.

The main advantage of using a 552079-1 connector is that it provides high reliability and superior mechanical and electrical performance in the application in question. It is a compact connector, making it an ideal choice for applications where space is a consideration. Additionally, its construction is corrosion resistant and features robust connectors, ensuring that it can withstand vibrations or harsh environments.

The workings of a 552079-1 connector are simple but effective. Generally, when a matching pair of plugs and sockets are connected, the pins on the connectors pierce through an insulating membrane located between them, creating an electrical connection upon contact. The connector will ensure that the electrical connection is maintained, providing uninterrupted communication between both devices.

D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors – Backshells, Hoods are an essential component in many different applications. The 552079-1 has been developed as an effective and reliable connector for such applications. Its high reliability and superior mechanical and electrical performance makes it a worthy addition to any device.
