5745077-6 Connectors, Interconnects

D-sub connectors are a type of electrical connectors often seen used in IT equipment, communication systems, and consumer electronics for various port connections. The 5745077-6 D-sub connector series is a ruggedized, high-density type, suitable for harsh environments where traditional PCB-mount connectors may not be able to withstand.

5745077-6 Application Field

The 5745077-6 D-sub connectors are designed for challenging applications which require stronger protection against shock and vibration, while offering 360° EMI shielding. The connector is most commonly used in applications for onboard data acquisition, instrumentation and communication systems in military, aerospace and industrial applications. It is also widely used in high-end medical imaging devices, industrial automation and robotics.

5745077-6 Working Principle

Traditional D-sub connectors feature a metal or plastic hood along with a cable assembly to provide full EMI shielding. These connectors use contacts that are mechanically and electrically coupled together. The connection is made by inserting the contacts into the mating port of the device, which allows the contacts to provide a secure electrical connection. The 5745077-6, however, adds a sealing structure which increases its robustness and shock resistance due to the fact that the seal allows the connector to move while staying firmly connected. The sealing structure consists of two layers: an inner rubberized layer and an outer metallic layer.

The 5745077-6 also features a vacuum-sealed internal cavity which helps to reduce moisture and contaminants from entering the system, improving the durability of the connection. The inner rubberized layer provides a resilient sealing material which maintains a tight connection when the connector is being used in harsh environments. The outer metallic layer provides an additional layer of protection against impacts and knocks.

These D-sub connectors are designed with multiple contact points, which ensures a high-strength, extremely durable connection. With complete protection provided from EMI, these connectors are suitable for high-end applications which require reliable and secure connections. The connectors are also able to withstand extreme temperatures, making them ideal for applications in extreme conditions.
