EFB Elektronik 34606.1 D-Sub Cable Connector

The EFB Elektronik 34606.1 Wire Connector is a metallic D-Sub male connector designed to provide reliable electrical connections in electronic equipment and cable assemblies. Constructed with metal shell housing and precision-formed contacts, this D-Sub connector is intended for use where a robust mechanical connection and consistent signal transfer are required. The connector's compact D-Sub form factor allows integration into panels, cable harnesses, and equipment enclosures where space and shielding considerations are important.

Advantages

The metallic shell offers enhanced mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding compared to non-metallic housings. Precision male contacts ensure stable contact resistance and dependable electrical continuity over repeated mating cycles. The standard D-Sub shape enables compatibility with a wide range of mating connectors and mounting options, facilitating integration into existing systems. The robust construction supports environments where vibration and mechanical stress may be present.

Suitable for

• Panel-mounted interfaces in industrial control equipment
• Cable assemblies and custom wiring harnesses
• Data and signal transmission where shielded connections are required
• Repair or replacement of existing D-Sub male connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub male, metallic shell
• Material: metal housing with precision-formed contacts
• Typical applications: signal and data connections in electronic equipment
• Mechanical features: durable shell for enhanced mechanical protection and EMI shielding
• Mating style: standard D-Sub mating interface for compatibility with corresponding female connectors

How to use

Install the wire connector by routing the cable conductors to the contact points and securing them according to the connector's termination method (solder, crimp or screw termination depending on the specific variant). Mount the connector shell to the panel or cable assembly using the provided mounting points and fasteners to ensure a stable mechanical connection. When mating, align the D-Sub shell with the corresponding female connector and fasten any retaining screws to maintain a secure connection. Verify continuity and contact integrity with an appropriate multimeter or test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use the connector within the manufacturer’s recommended environmental and mechanical limits. Select the appropriate termination method for conductor size and application, and ensure proper strain relief and shielding termination to maintain signal integrity. Regularly inspect mating interfaces for wear or corrosion in high-use or harsh environments.
