D-Sub Connector Assemblies

D-subminiature connectors are named for the D-shaped shroud present at their mating end and the relatively high interconnect density offered at the time of their introduction. Products in this family, which are described as "connectors", incorporate the electrical contacts and the insulation system holding them in position as an integral unit. They are commonly used for board mount applications, although they can also be used for solder terminated cable mount.
