Introduction to D-Sub Connectors

D-Sub connectors, also known as D-Subminiature connectors, are electrical connectors with two parallel rows of pins. They are most often used in the fields of electronics, telecommunications, computer hardware, and more. Originally designed around World War II for military applications, these connectors have become widespread in various applications due to their reliablity. D-Sub connectors are available in a variety of configurations in order to accommodate many signal, power, and data configurations.

FCE17C37SC650 Application Field and Working Principle

The FCE17C37SC650 is a type of D-Sub connector designed for shielded, high-density applications, with each row containing 37 numbered pins. It also has a retention button to secure the plastic housing. The FCE17C37SC650 is most commonly used in industrial applications that require high current signals and power connections, though it can also be used in more general purpose applications.

Applications

The FCE17C37SC650 is a heavy-duty solution well-suited for industrial applications such as process control, automation, HVAC, robotics, motor control, power electronics, electro-mechanical actuation and others. It supports applications requiring high current, such as motor power, variable frequency drive, and capacitor discharge welding. The connector’s superior mechanical strength is able to withstand buildup of welding material, and the metal shielding minimizes interference from external sources. Additionally, since the connector can be implemented in both horizontal and vertical orientation, the user has more versatility when integrating the connector into a device or product.

Working Principle

The FCE17C37SC650 is a standard D-Sub connector which consists of a plastic body, a set of male pins on one side, and a set of female sockets on the other side. The male pins fit snugly into the female sockets to form an electrical connection when the connector is mated together. Additionally, the plastic housing has a retention button which secures the connector in place by preventing the connector from being accidentally unplugged or disconnected.

Conclusion

The FCE17C37SC650 is a reliable and versatile D-Sub connector designed for high current applications such as process control, automation, motor power, and more. The connector’s plastic housing provides sturdy construction and the individual pin and socket contacts provide strong electrical connections. With its superior shielding and mechanical strength, the FCE17C37SC650 is a great choice for any industrial application.
