D-Sub Connector Styles

Two more pages were added dealing with D-Sub miniature connectors, both linked off the main Insert Arrangements page. The new pages provides connector dimensions for Insulation Displacement D-Sub connectors, and D-Sub connectors with Plug Pin Contacts.

D Subminiature connectors are not found on commercial PCs any longer but are still being used in Industrial and Military applications. There are many other connector styles that are smaller and able to carrier higher speed signals.

Any way now there are pages that provide shell sizes for;
Board Mount D-Sub Connectors,
Insulation Displacement D-Sub Connectors,
Solder Cup D-Sub Connectors.

With each page providing Mechanical Dimensions for each of the connector styles, and showing the different connector sizes [number of pins] available under each different style.

D-Sub Connector Insert Arragenments

There are a number of pages that deal with D Sub-miniature connectors on the engineering web site. The main two are Manufacturers of Commercial D-Sub Connectors, and Manufacturers of Military D-Sub Connectors. Military connectors meet the MIL-DTL-24308 specification.

A graphic of a D-Subminiature outline, and a table of D-Sub mechanical dimensions is provided to determine the different sizes available. Along with a new page providing Insert Arrangements for D-sub connectors.

9-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
15-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements, Size 22 Contacts.
15-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements, Size 20 Contacts.
25-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
26-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
37-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
44-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
50-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
62-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
78-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements,
104-pin D-Sub Insert Arrangements.

So the Insert Arrangements for D-subs gives the dimensions and locations of the individual pins, while the Dimensional outline for D-subs gives the case out-line. In addition, you can determine the pin location or pin numbering using the 'insert arrangement' pages.

Although in declining usage on PC's the three most common sizes used are the 9-pin [Serial Port], the 15-pin [Video Port], and the 25-pin [Parallel Port].
