D-Sub & D-Ribbon Connectors & Accessories

D-Sub connectors, short for "D-Subminiature," are widely used in electronics for data and signal transmission. They feature a trapezoidal-shaped metal shell, with pins arranged in two rows, ensuring secure connections. D-Sub connectors come in various sizes, commonly 9, 15, or 25 pins, supporting diverse applications. D-Ribbon connectors, on the other hand, are flat ribbon cables terminated with insulation-displacement connectors (IDC). They streamline mass termination, enhancing reliability and efficiency. D-Ribbon connectors find application in printers, scanners, and data communication systems. Accessories for both connector types include backshells for strain relief, hoods for additional protection, and gender changers for adapting between male and female connectors, providing versatility in connectivity solutions.
