D-Sub, D-shaped connectors and backshells are highly useful, versatile components used in many applications including computer, automotive and communication systems. They provide a secure connection between two devices by sandwiching a pair of wires and two contact surfaces between two matching pieces. The pins and sockets that allow this connection are either soldered together or held in place by a secure and relatively easy to use bayonet connection system. In either case, the connection between the two parts is firm and reliable.

These versatile connectors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are often used in matching sets. They are available in both male and female versions, although male connectors tend to be more common. Generally speaking, the connectors are made up of two parts; the front plate and the back shell. The front plate usually has a few pins in a row while the back shell provides the insulation and a more secure contact point between the wires and device. There are also various grades of D-sub connectors and backshells, from general purpose to highly durable and waterproof.

In terms of their actual working principle, D-sub connectors are designed to provide a very secure connection with minimal damage to the wire insulation. This is facilitated by the pressure contact system found with most of the more modern versions. This system allows the pins to achieve a secure connection with the wire insulation without causing any damage to it. In addition, the overall design of the connector helps to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce connector wear.

The 980-2000-354 is a DC-10 rated D-sub connector specifically designed for harsh environment use. It is constructed from die cast zinc and comes with a set of lugs to ensure a firm and secure connection. A quick connect latch is also featured, allowing for one handed connection and disconnection. This connector is also designed for a robust connection and features a plastic case with bayonet locks for additional security. The connector is capable of providing voltage of up to 2000V and 40A current rating, making it highly suitable for power applications.

Overall, D-sub, D-shaped connectors and backshells are highly versatile and robust components that can be used in a wide range of applications. The 980-2000-354 in particular provides a secure, waterproof connection with a voltage of up to 2000V and 40A current rating. With its quick connect latch and bayonet locking system, this D-sub connector is one of the most reliable connectors available on the market.
