DH40-17S

D-Shaped connectors are essential components for many electronic devices and provide reliable and effective interconnection between different boards, components, and housing. The Centronics DH40-17S connector is one of the many products in the market that utilize D-shape connector design. It is used mainly for the interconnection of data bus systems to static I/O points.

The DH40-17S connector is comprised of a male head, which consists of a metal composed housing and two opposing contacts, and a female threaded body. The metal housing serves two important functions - it provides a rigid mounting point to secure the connector and also ensures its electro-mechanical connection between the connector and the board. The two opposing contacts on the male head provide the connection between the DH40-17S connector and the data bus. The female threaded body of the connector is designed to ensure a tight and secure fit when connected to a static I/O point or other peripheral device.

The application fields of the DH40-17S connector are mainly in industrial and electronic applications. It is widely used in both static and dynamic applications, such as the interconnection of sensors, computers, motor control systems, and data acquisition systems to name a few. It is also found in the commercial and aerospace industries and is used for avionics systems, communications systems, power systems, and networks.

The working principle of the DH40-17S connector is fairly simple. The electrical connection between the male and female components is established when the metal housing of the male component is inserted into the female component. The two contacts on the male component ensure that electrical connection is maintained and this connection is further reinforced by the threaded body of the female component.

The DH40-17S connector is a reliable, cost-effective, and secure solution for interconnecting data bus systems to static I/O points and other peripheral devices. It offers a reliable and effective means of connecting and transferring data for industrial, electronic and commercial applications.
