D-sub connectors are one of the oldest yet most popular types of electrical connectors. They are popular for both professional and hobbyist applications due to their simple and efficient design. The name ‘D-sub’ is derived from the similar shape of the D-shaped connector and its terminal pins, which are grouped in a parallel, rather than concentric, array within the metal shell. The FC series of D-sub connectors are developed by the top connector manufacturer, FCI.

FCE17A15AD200 Connectors

The FCE17A15AD200 connector series is a 30-pin D-Sub connector, which has 15 female terminals on one side and 15 male terminals on the other side. The pins are laid out in a single row of either male or female terminals and are D-shaped, not round. This design ensures maximum contact area with the mating connector and guarantees the best electrical connection. The male and female connectors are nickel-plated and feature a centerline of 17.20 mm.

Applications

The FCI’s FCE17A15AD200 adapter can be used in a variety of applications including the industrial, automotive, computer, telecoms and audio-visual sectors. It is ideal for connecting computer peripherals such as printers, scanners, and other input/output devices. In industrial applications, it is commonly used for attaching sensors and electrical components to the main system. And in the automotive sector, the connector can be used for connecting various electronic components within the vehicles.

Working Principle

The FCI FCE17A15AD200 connector features an impressive design that allows for a secure connection between two devices. The connector consists of two parts – the male and female connectors, which clip together in a line. The male connector has 15 pins which are protruding outwards from the centerline. These pins form a single line of metal that will mate with the inside of the 15 female terminals on the other connector. The female terminals are indented into the centerline and form a perfect line. When the two parts mate together, there is an equal distribution of pressure ensuring a reliable connection. The two parts are then further secured with a screw or nut.

Conclusion

The FCI FCE17A15AD200 connector is a high-quality, reliable and easy to use connector for a range of applications. It is built with a simple yet effective D-shaped design that ensures maximum contact area and thus an optimum electrical connection between two devices. It is suitable for industrial, automotive, computer, telecommunication and audio-visual systems.
