Rhapso-D Series connectors are Military/Industrial quality rectangu-
lar connectors designed for use in sheltered, mildly corrosive environ-
ments having a wide range of temperature, pressure and humidity
changes. These crimp removable contact connectors are qualified to
MIL-DTL-24308 and MIL-C-39029, and will meet the performance
requirements of IEC 807-3, Performance Level One.
Rhapso-D Series connectors utilize precision machined contacts
with closed barrel, crimp terminations. The female contact features a
rugged closed entry design contact with stainless steel shroud. A
“Robi-D Open Entry” female contact is also available.
Six standard connector variants are offered in arrangements of 9,
15, 25, 29, 37 and 50 contacts. Rhapso-D Series connectors are mate-
able and compatible with all D-Subminiature connectors conforming to
MIL-DTL-24308, IEC 807-2 and IEC 807-3.
A wide assortment of cable support hoods and locking systems is
available from stock.
Rhapso-D Series connectors conform to EIA RS 232 and RS 449,
and CCITT X.24 interface connection requirements.

AUTOMATIC CRIMP TOOL,
PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED
Part No. 9550-1
This fast cycling automatic crimp tool produces an 8 indent
crimp on wire sizes 20 AWG [0.5mm
2
] through 32 AWG
[0.03mm
2
]. Rhapso-D Series contacts must be ordered on
reels.
To order, specify part number 9550-1. Foot control valve is
supplied as a standard accessory.
MINIATURE STEP ADJUSTABLE TOOL
(M22520/2-01)
Part No. 9507
This miniature 8 step adjustable hand crimping tool produces
an 8 indent crimp configuration and will crimp wire sizes 18
AWG [1.0mm
2
] through 32 AWG [0.03mm
2
].
To crimp wire size 18 AWG [1.0mm
2
], order contact position-
er 9502-11. To crimp wire size 20 AWG [0.5mm
2
] through 30
AWG [0.05mm
2
], order contact positioner 9502-5. Each posi-
tioner is equipped with a data plate which gives the correct
crimp-depth setting for each wire size, and must be used with
9507 tool frame for best results when crimping Rhapso-D
Series contacts.
INSERTION/REMOVAL TOOL
(M81969/1-02)
Part No. 4711-2
One end of this tool is used to insert contacts into Rhapso-D
Series connectors. The other end is used to extract contacts.
This is accomplished by sliding the extraction tip down the
wire into the connector until it bottoms against the contact. A
slight rotation while pushing will release the contacts, which
are then extracted by simultaneously pulling on the wire.
