Working Principle

The L17TF1512102 D-sub connector is designed to support data transmission between two or more electrical devices. This is achieved by the utilization of contact springs, which are mounted on each individual terminal of the connector. These springs are designed to create a reliable electrical connection between the terminals and the mating contacts.

The contact springs create an electrical connection between two points by applying stress on one side of the spring, while the other side of the spring is maintained in contact with the mating contact. This ensures that the electrical connection is maintained regardless of vibration, shock, and other dynamic effects. The springs also provide a secure connection which is resistant to disconnection and loosening due to vibration, shock, and acceleration.

The contact springs are constructed from beryllium copper which has a high electrical conductivity and offers excellent performance in high-speed applications. The springs are also gold-plated to ensure reliable electrical contact even after repeated use.

The L17TF1512102 D-sub connectors are designed for reliable connection and superior performance even in high-speed applications. It is used for digital transmission of data signals and is suitable for a variety of applications including industrial, medical, and aerospace.
