D-Subminiature Connectors–All-Plastic
The D-Subminiature Insulation Displacement Connector is
a popular standard for interconnecting many types of electronic
equipment–computers and peripherals, instruments, tele-
communications and test equipment–throughout the military,
industrial, and commercial product sectors.
CW’s D-Subminiature connectors consist of four sizes of
each of two types of D-Subminiature connectors…pin and
socket versions…mating to standard 9, 15, 25, and 37
conductor cable. All CW D-Subminiature connectors incorporate
two basic series of patents assuring contact integrity with the
cable as well as the mating connector. These connectors are UL
and CSA listed and are designed to meet the standards of Mil-
DTL-83503. They are fully interchangeable and mate with other
standard D-Subminiature connectors.
•
Accepts jacketed and
shielded cable
without the
need for a backshell.
•
Choice of 3-way strain
relief-cable
entry/exit (left,
right, or center) provides
maximum flexibility in
system design.
•
Available with or without
protective cover lip
for cable
end or daisy chain applications.
•
Accepts standard .050 in.
center cable.
Internal contact
transition to .054 in. centers
eliminates the need for special
cable preparation.
•
Torq-Tite™ contact tines
keep the conductor under
continuous tension. Assures a
mechanically and electrically
sound, gas-tight union.
•
Integral guides precisely
orient the cable to the connector
tines. Eliminates the need for special
cable alignment tools.
•
Contacts are precisely positioned
and parallel for their full mating depth,
providing maximum contact area on
every pin and socket.

D-Subminiature Connectors
Patented Contact Tr ansition
The CW contact transition is unique in that all contacts are precisely
positioned to provide full contact with their mating member at every pin
and socket. CW’s internal transition from .050 in. to .054 in. centers
eliminates the need for special cables or special cable preparation. It
also eliminates the possibility of pin misalignment, and excessive
insertion/withdrawal forces, providing maximum contact integrity,
minimum contact resistance, and long term reliability.
Thr ee-w ay Str ain Relief
CW’s exclusive design allows for three-way strain relief. This feature
offers you a choice of three cable entry/exit options providing maximum
flexibility and system design.
Assembly That’s a Snap
CW supplies a cover factory preassembled to the base, with the cover in
a detented “up” position to allow sufficient space to insert the cable.
There is no need for special cable alignment tooling. Built-in guides in
both the cover and base orient the cable conductors to the connector
contacts.
Removable Cover
CW insulation displacement D-Subminiature connectors permit simple,
non-destructive removal of the cover for maintenance and connector
reuse–the open end of a paper clip and a special groove in the mounting
flange (standard on all CW D’s) is all that is required to remove the cover.
