D-Sub connectors are commonly used computer, automotive, and audio-visual applications. They have a continuous shape of a triangle, with two grooves, commonly referred to as D-shaped connectors, and are widely used in a wide range of applications including communication, industrial, assembly, and networking.

The most common type of D-Sub connector is the FCC17E09AD200. This 18-contact adapter has a storage capacity of up to 2.47A voltage through 9 pins, and is widely used for applications requiring high power such as automotive applications. Additionally, it can be used for high frequency (RF) processing applications.

Application Field

The FCC17E09AD200 is mainly used in communication systems and other fields requiring high frequency and efficient transmission of digital or analog signals. It can be used in digital transmission systems carrying radio and telephone data, as well as in teleconferencing, video conferencing, and video converters. Also, they are used in automotive audio-visual systems to connect audio inputs and video inputs. The FCC17E09AD200 is compatible with a variety of international communication standards such as V.35, RS-252, and 10Base-2.

Working Principle

The D-Sub connector is connected to a circuit board (PCB) and board-to-board applications via an integrated ground tab. It has a straightforward, well-defined and durable design which helps in making reliable connections. The D-Sub connector is also fitted with a low inductance ground pin, which ensures that interference is kept to a minimum. The connector is further equipped with a polarization system to avoid any kind of misalignment in the pin arrangement.

The FCC17E09AD200 D-Sub connector provides secure and reliable electrical connections, ensuring low impedance via enhanced contact coverage. This maximizes the connection area providing better electrical connection between the circuits, thus meaning that the connection is much more reliable for higher speed processes. Furthermore, the D-Sub connector has a shielding system that blocks stray RF and EMI emissions, ensuring that there is no external interference.
