MDM04-B15-03

D-Sub Cables

The MDM04-B15-03 is a D-Sub cable, also known as a DB connector, Deutsch connector, or D-subminiature. A D-Sub cable is a multi-conductor cable configuration that is generally used as an electrical/interface connector. It is conformed to D-Type Shell sizes, as defined by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. The MDM04-B15-03 is available in nine different shell sizes and a range of different length cord extensions, and features a convenient overlap jack design.

Application Field

The MDM04-B15-03 and its variants are often used in a wide range of industries, from automotive and aircraft applications to industrial and commercial use. This type of cable is used in data, audio, and/or video applications for the transmission of signals between two electronic devices. Specifically, it is often used for transmitting digital signals such as RS-232, CAN, RS-485, LVDS, and other communication protocols. It is also commonly used for connecting two discrete electronic circuits, such as for providing power to other devices or biasing circuits. It is also often used to provide remote control applications in various consumer electronics systems.

Working Principle

The MDM04-B15-03 and its variants use a shell configuration consisting of two sets of paralell, multiple-conductor cables. The two sets are used for sending and receiving data, typically operating in pairs. Each pair has separate transmit (TX) and receive (RX) contacts. The core of the cable consists of two coaxial pairs that run transversely to the plug and connect the main signal wires. The contact parts of the plug are connected to pins within the D-sub shell through a flexible metallic beam. This beam provides a reliable and high-performance connection between the plug and pin contacts, allowing data to be transmitted over a variety of different distances and environmental conditions.

The MDM04-B15-03 and its variants use an overlap jack design, which allows the connection to be easily made or broken from a disconnected position. This system also features a special design that allows the cable to be easily connected or disconnected in the same plane with minimal effort. Additionally, the plug and pin contacts have been designed to provide high contact density that ensures the secure transmission of data over long distances, even in harsh environments.

Conclusion

The MDM04-B15-03 is a type of D-sub miniaturized cable used in many applications for transmitting data between electronic devices. This type of cable is often used in automotive and aircraft applications, as well as for connecting two discrete electronic circuits. The design of the connectors includes a convenient overlap jack, which allows for easy connection and disconnection. The cables provide reliable performance over a range of different environmental conditions, allowing data to be transmitted securely over long distances.
