These connectors are typically used where small space and lightweight are of primary concern.Unique Twist Pin and Solid Tube SocketMicro-D' s use ITT Industries twist pins that are constructed by welding seven wires together to form a strong rounded tip. Then, slightly twist the wires to form a birdcage before crimping them into the body of the pin contact. Micro-D' s differ from standard D-Subminiature connectors in that the pin contacts are protectively housed in the insulator and the solid tube socket contacts are visibly extended from the socket insulator. This unique design protects the twist pin from damage. The pin contact bird cage gets compressed, elongates and twists inside the smaller diameter of the solid tube socket providing excellent wiping action and extremely low contact bounce, even under high vibration.Total Environmental-Sealing Silicone Interfacial Seals and Epoxy-Potted ContactsThe silicone interfacial seal prevents the entrance of environmental contaminants, humidity and moisture from entering the contact area when mated. The wire side of the connectors are potted with high quality epoxy that encapsulates the wire side of the connector and locks the contacts into the insulator, preventing any contact pullout.Pre-wired Connectors for Fast, Easy AssemblyMicro-D connectors are available
