FCC17C37SC290

The FCC17C37SC290 is a D-Sub connector. It is, by codes, the FCC17C Series, D-Sub Connector with Socket in 37 position, and an SC290 straight pin. This section will provide an overview of the applications and functioning principles, of such a connector.

Applications

The FCC17C37SC290 is generally employed in communications systems, mainly in those, which require a large number of contacts in a small panel area. The FCC17C37SC290 is commonly used when multimedia data, voice, and other signals need to be transferred in high quality. The FCC17C37SC290 has double top contacts and single bottom contacts configured in a 37-position format, making it suitable for electronic voice, multimedia signal transfers in large contacts systems.

Another example of a application for the FCC17C37SC290 is a research control panel. It can accommodate a large amount of control and communications functions in a small panel area. In this application, the FCC17C37SC290 would be employed in providing impedance matched transmission lines and low loss termination centers.

The ease of installation and the wide availability of sizes and contact types make this D-Sub connector a popular choice for electronic systems. It is especially well used in applications where data is transmitted rapidly and in large volumes.

Working Principle

The FCC17C37SC290 consists of two identical halves, which join together to form the connection point. The two halves have identical contacts for mechanical and electrical contact. At the bottom side, the contacts are made of electrical grade steel and they are plated with a suitable finish for corrosion protection.

The two halves fit together by a lip lock, and are held in place with a locking device. This locking device applies an even pressure to the two halves, which ensures that the electrical contacts are being firmly in place to achieve the best electrical connection. The two halves are then connected through a conductive path called a termination strap. This termination strip enables the electrical signal to flow from one side to the other.

When the two halves are connected, the two bottom contacts make contact with the termination strip. This strip transmits an electric current from one connector to the other. The current is then propagated through the contacts, allowing the signal to transfer from one side to the other.

Conclusion

The FCC17C37SC290 is a D-Sub connector which is most commonly used for communications systems, such as multimedia data and voice signal transfers. It is easy to install and has a wide availability of sizes and contact types. The working principle of the FCC17C37SC290 involves it having two identical halves which join together, as well as a termination strap which enables the electric current from one side to the other.
