D-Sub Connectors

The 680S7W2203L401 is a D-Sub connector, one of the largest and most diverse family of connector products available. Typically D-Sub connectors use molded plastic, metal body and 14-24 contacts for data and power transmission.

Application Field

D-Sub connectors are widely used in the computer industry as an easy solution for making connection between computers and peripherals. In addition, D-Sub connectors are also suitable for harsh environments as they are flammability-resistant. Moreover, they are often used in manufacturing machines, medical equipments, and peripherals like mouse, joystick, and gamepads.

Aside from its main purpose as a computer connector, D-Sub connectors can be found in many fields such as telecommunications, automotive, industrial control, consumer electronics, and even the aviation industry.

Working Principle

The simple and relatively inexpensive structure of the D-Sub connector enables it to be both reliable and robust. The working principle of a D-Sub connector is based on the contact force of the contacts, created by when the two ends are mated.

The interaction between two D-Sub connectors is beneficial because it provides additional electrical insulation between them, and it protects against dirt and dust. Usually, the outer shell of the connector houses the electrical contacts and also protects against environmental elements, such as water and wear.

The use of metal positioning pin assures the plug and socket are mated correctly, and also provides mechanical stability for the connecting system. To ensure the contacts provide a reliable connection, a gold plating is often used on all the contact pins.

Conclusion

The 680S7W2203L401 is a D-Sub connector, widely used to connect computers and peripherals, as well as other applications like automation and the aviation industry. This connector is easy to use and is flammability-resistant, and has a robust structure that ensure reliable and secure connection.
