Powerful D-subs from In2Connect

November 3, 2017 By Ken Korane Leave a Comment

D-sub connectors were arguably the first and most widely established in/out (I/O) interface connector, according to officials at In2Connect UK Ltd., based in Ropley, Hampshire. The connectors are so-called because of their trapezoidal (vaguely “D” shaped) shell which provides mechanical protection, shielding and built-in polarization when mating male to female, whether cable-end or panel mounted. […]
