552209-1

D-Shaped Connectors have become a popular option for more electronic connections and have been used for more advanced assemblies for a number of years. The Centronics 552209-1 D-Shape Connector is the latest version and has been specifically designed to meet increasing demands for high speed, reliable and easily-installed electrical connectors. The 552209-1 Connector has a detachable contact arrangement, allowing an easy and simple connection in tight spaces.

Application Field

The 552209-1 Connector is typically used in data communication applications, such as Ethernet or fibre, and in high speed applications like those found in automotive or military applications. In particular, it is used in robust electrical and mechanical designs like in many commercial IoT applications. As such, its design ensures reliable connections and reliable data transmission in these challenging environments.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 552209-1 Connector is simple yet effective. It consists of a male and female contact sections, which are then connected by a retaining and locking mechanism. The male contact section is inserted into the female contact section and, by tightening the locking screws, the two sections are then securely connected. Once in place, power can be transmitted through the two contact sections, ensuring reliable electrical connections. Additionally, the backshell and strain relief further secure the connections and enable the connectors themselves to remain protected from external elements.

The Centronics 552209-1 D-Shape Connector is the most reliable and highest-performing option available and is the most suitable for robust applications. Its moulded design processes ensure consistent performance, while its intuitive locking mechanisms mean it is easy to install and provides a reliable connection that will last for years. As such, it is the go to choice for industry-leading electronics and data communication applications.
