Describe
D-sub is short for D-subminiature. This form is no longer used, as these connectors are no longer considered miniature in computing terms; indeed they are among the largest plugs used in computing. The D does not stand for digital. Instead, it comes from the connector's creators, ITT Cannon, who used the D to indicate that the pins are housed in a D-shaped shell. This D is then followed by another letter denote the size of the plug and socket in terms of the capacity of pins that can be housed, then a number showing the number of pins used.
Best Uses for D-sub Connectors
For some applications, D-sub connectors are still the best option:
- DIY. Their flexible wiring and secure connection make D-subs ideal for do-it-yourself projects and bespoke electronics applications, where the range of connection options make frequent rewiring and fine-tuning easier.
-
- Media applications. D-subs’ low cost and reliability make them useful for various types of media applications such as VGA (Video Graphics Array) connectors in television, gaming, and recording devices.
-
- On-the-go usage. D-sub connectors are still more rugged than faster, more compact alternatives, making them a solid choice for portable recording where jostling is a risk.
FAQ
●What is D-type connector basics?
D-type connectors most commonly consist or two and sometimes more parallel rows of connections.
The connectors have a D-format metal shell. This not only provides mechanical strength to the connector, but it also provides some limited screening as well - the metal shells of the plug and socket make contact to provide screening. Also the panel mounting connectors are typically secured to the panel using nuts that have an additional thread that allows the mating connector to be secured to it to prevent it working loose.
Additionally the free connectors can have back-shells that can provide screening and can be connected to the cable screen, or if plastic, they can provide protection. Strain relief on the cable is also provided.
