D-Sub, D-Shaped Connector Contacts

D-Sub connectors are a form of electrical connector commonly used in various applications, including coaxial, pneumatic, power, signal, and voltage applications. These connectors feature a distinctive D-shaped shield or molded base and utilize male or female terminals known as D-Sub contacts. These D-Sub contacts are designed to be used with a range of wire gauges, typically ranging from 2 to 36 AWG. This versatility allows for use with a broad range of coaxial cables, including popular options such as RG174, RG178, RG179, RG180, RG187, RG188, RG196, RG316, RF58, RG141, and RG404. The male and female D-Sub contacts offer a reliable and secure connection between the cable and the connector assembly. They are designed to ensure optimal signal transmission by providing a stable and durable interface between the cable and the connector. The D-Sub contacts also provide mechanical fixation, preventing accidental disconnection or movement, and helping to maintain the integrity of the connection. In summary, D-Sub connectors are widely used in various applications, and their male and female contacts provide a reliable and secure connection between the cable and the connector assembly. These contacts are compatible with a wide range of wire gauges and coaxial cables, ensuring optimal signal transmission and facilitating mechanical fixation to prevent accidental disconnection or movement.
