The waterproof D-Sub System developed by CONEC according to IP67, is particularly suitable for applications where dust and splashwater can impair the device's functionality. The Standard, High Density and Combination D-Sub connectors are intergrated and sealed in a plastic or metal framework. CONEC also offers a variety of assebly types for the most diverse applications. When attaching the device you can choose between back plate and front plate assembly. There is a special plastic monoblock hood for the cable side that matches the system; this comes in grey, black or metallized and is suitable for different cable diameters.
CONEC offers an extensive range of housings for different areas of application or requirements. This ranges from plastic, metallised plastic, plastic with integrated shielding plate and up to a full metal construction. Full metal versions are used e.g. in areas wehere there are harsh environmental conditions or where they are required to absorb interference. Special housings are available for combination D-Sub connectors, which have a large interior space for coaxial or high power contacts in order to avoid unnecessary stress on the contacts and wires.
Various systems are available to securely connect and lock different cables to the device or to connect cable to cable. Whether it is a sliding contact, locking device or screw connection, the suitable system will have to be chosen depending on the relevant application. Dust protection caps and shielding caps are available for open interfaces that are not always in use. If there is sufficient space, a "Blind Mating System" should be used to ensure a secure connection of the male and female connector in the equipment cabinet. This is particularly recommended where there isn't clear access to the mating connector.
The combination D-Sub connectors can b used in a wide variety of applications. Different combinations are possible within the standard metal housings with signal, high current, high voltage or coaxial contacts. All common contact layouts and connection types are available. The advantage of these connectors is that they provide a cost-saving solution and save space on the rear side of the device. In principle, the connectors are supplied with signal contacts up to the crimp version. The high current, high voltage and coaxial contacts can be ordered separately or they can be assembled immediately in the factory.
