FCC17E09SM440

The FCC17E09SM440 is a D-Sub Connector, used to connect connections with three parallel lines. It is also one of the more specialized connectors, designed for specific purposes.

D-Sub Connectors are constructed of an insulated plug with pins or sockets housed within an integral shell. The external shell includes an arrangement of metal pins or contacts that correspond to the internal pins or sockets. Pins are used as the female where terminals are connected by inserting the exposed end of the wire into the pin. The connection is secured by soldering the exposed wire to the pin.

The basic shape of a D-Sub connector is a D, and the term comes from the type the connector resembles. The number of pins/sockets can vary from 9 to 44 depending on the connector version. The connectors have an overall rugged construction, good contact engagement, and mate in a half-turn formation.

The FCC17E09SM440 connector is the M440 variant, with 26 pins or sockets. These connectors are small and light, typically occupying the same foot print and weight as their smaller counterparts. Most versions are available with direct PCB mount, wire-wrap, crimp sockets, or solder-cup connection options. The D-Sub connectors are best suited for analog, digital, and RF signals, and are generally used in audio, video, and telecommunications equipment.

The FCC17E09SM440 connector is further defined by its key characteristics. These include a current rating of 17A, mating cycles of 500, and a dielectric strength of 2.5KV ac. It is also highly resistant to solvents, oils, and other chemicals.

The working principle for the D-Sub Connectors is relatively straightforward. When the plug is inserted into the socket, the corresponding connections are made with each of the pins or sockets. This connection process is repeated for each plug connection. A clear audible “click” is emitted when the connector is properly mated with the socket, ensuring correct and safe installation.

The D-Sub Connector is one of the most widely used connections in the industry, providing reliable solutions for a wide range of applications. The FCC17E09SM440 is one of the specialized connectors in the subset, designed for professional audio/video applications. While having a smaller footprint and weight than similar connectors, it still provides reliable electrical connections and is highly durable.
