D15P24B6PA00LF

Introduction

D-Sub (also known as D-Subminiature) connectors are one of the most ubiquitous connector types. They are often used for low-speed signal applications in which multi-pins and relatively low power are needed, such as VGA, MIDI or Commodore 64 connections. The particular variant featured here is the D15P24B6PA00LF, which is a 15-pin connector with a 24-pin contact system.

Application Field and Working Principle

The D15P24B6PA00LF is a versatile D-Sub connector typically used for signal connections requiring up to 24 pins. It is mostly found in office equipment, industrial machines, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. It is also commonly used in many computers with VGA or serial ports. The connector is typically wired in a male/female configuration.

The D15P24B6PA00LF has a metal shell and polarized pins, so it is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. The connector is held together by screws on the shell and not removable once the screws are tightened. The pins are arranged into two contact rows and can be used for data, power, and ground signals. The IDC contacts have a hinged mechanism which allows for making and breaking connections with ease.

The D15P24B6PA00LF has a maximum contact rating of 5A and a maximum voltage rating of 300V. The contact current is recommended to not exceed 4A at a maximum of 10V for continuous applications and 5A at a maximum of 50V for high-voltage applications. In terms of data-rate performance, the connector can handle up to 16 Mbps in full-duplex mode and up to 400 Mbps in half-duplex mode.

Conclusion

The D15P24B6PA00LF is a well-engineered and reliable connector which is suitable for a wide range of applications that require up to 24 pins. Its metal shell design, keyed connectors, and hinged contact system make it easy to use and capable of providing dependable connections for years.
