These components are derived from D-subminiature style connectors; electrical contacts are put into them to be connected using discrete wires for a secure and strong connection. Therefore, it is entitled to be shaped for its mounting terminal and have interconnection potential per its operation. A backshell, an extra component, is required to create a connection assembly. Be aware that similar products meant for installation directly onto a printed circuit board are available alongside similar products produced by soldering discrete wires in place; however, they are categorized separately.
What are the Features and Benefits of D-sub Housings?
The D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Housings are designed to have a strong connection with a reinforced dedicated crimp tool. In contrast, the surface is found with dedicated nickel plating, which can let you get the benefit of the EMI influence in the connection using a connector such as an EMI safeguard to the completest.
To achieve an appropriate electrical connection, a connector housing supports the contact members mechanically, electrically insulates the contact members, and aids in applying and maintaining contact pressure. Heat deflection temperature, glass transition temperature, mechanical strength, flammability, dielectric strength, dielectric constant, dissipation factor, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and moisture resistance are just a few of the characteristics of connector housing materials. The properties of connector housing are covered in the chapter, and then the topic of housing materials is covered.
D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Housings are available in a range of materials. Most of these substances are polymers, which are macromolecules (big molecules) created by joining several similar tiny molecules (monomers). A polymer can have anything between a few and tens of thousands of repeating units. "Degree of polymerization" is the name given to this value.
