D-Sub connectors, constructed as either plug or socket, are among the most widely used but least understood connectors. 6-174217-3 is a subminiature version of the popular D-Sub connector, varying only slightly in size and performance. As such, it exhibits the same common characteristics and features, as well as the same application field and working principle.

The term ‘D’ in D-Sub derives from the characteristic ‘D’ shape of the connector shell. The number of pins or contacts on a D-Sub connector is determined by the shell size - the higher number of pins usually for larger shells, and more pins for miniature versions such as 6-174217-3 connector. Generally, D-Sub contacts are arranged into two rows – a signal row and a ground row. It is important to note that each row can itself be divided – signals can be shared in the same row.

In many cases, the signal row is divided by gender – male and female – which should be carefully noted when purchasing through different suppliers. The 6-174217-3, for instance, is a female connector, whereas its larger equivalent may be male.

The use of different ‘keying’ systems helps to separate the two rows of contacts, and also ensures that mating interfaces can only be joined together in the correct orientation. These ensure that the 6-174217-3 and other variations will not become contaminated by accidental contact with the environment.

This feature makes the 6-174217-3 and similar connectors suitable for a wide variety of applications, from audio and video interfaces to network installation and control systems. Their size, performance and reliability make them well-suited to connecting field devices to a central system, or for connecting computers to displays.

The contacts in 6-174217-3 connectors are crimped, soldered or made as right angle connectors, allowing them to be connected to other equipment. The contacts can also be made of different metals, depending on the application. Metal contacts are corrosion-resistant and can endure high temperatures, making them suitable for outdoor installtions.

The size and features of 6-174217-3 connectors make them particularly suitable for cable assemblies. A standard cable assembly comprises a male connector soldered to a female connector connected to a pre-prepared length of cable. These assemblies can also be pre-configured, allowing for quick installation of the cable.

The working principle of 6-174217-3 connectors is based on the simple but effective contact between the connector’s pin and its socket. The connection is made when the pins of the connector insert into the socket, with pressure applied to the rear of the socket by the connector shell for a secure fit. This results in reliable data transfer.

In conclusion, 6-174217-3 connectors offer a reliable and cost-efficient solution for many applications and environments. It is important to remember the features and benefits of the connector, in order to utilize it correctly. With its versatility, reliable performance and robust construction, the 6-174217-3 is a perfect solution for connecting various devices.
