Features

With decades of industry-leading experience developing

application-specific, high reliability interconnect solutions,

Smiths Interconnect knows the importance with high

impedance D-Sub connectors to ground the outer shield of the

twinax or quadrax contact directly to the connector shell. Our

Rugged D-Sub connector series does this with a multi-finger

ground spring fixed around the shell to provide multi-point

contact engagement that affords superior EMI shielding and

extremely low contact resistance of the contact outer body to

the connector flange.

Offered with 100 ohm quadrax and/or differential pair twinax,

the Rugged D-Sub connector series from Smiths Interconnect

ensures minimal RF noise and high durability of up to 1,000

mating cycles while meeting and exceeding all requirements

of MIL-STD-202 for shock and vibration. Factory consultation is

recommended when other impedances are required.

In bringing this comprehensive interconnect solution to market,

a conscious effort was taken to look at it through the eyes of

customers. The end result is a rugged connector that embodies

both innovation and common sense, combining ease of assembly

with a leading-edge production tool method and innovative

quality inspection.

When multiple high speed rugged D-sub connectors are

deployed within systems electrical problems often occur due

to the incompatibility of the high speed D-sub plug to the

receptacle. This can occur if one set of rugged D-sub connectors

are differential twinax and the other is quadrax. To ensure

that the high speed connectors are correctly matched, and in

accordance to specific wiring requirements, we incorporated a

keyed jack post into the design. Allowing for 36 possible keying

combination, the six-positioned keyed jack post ensures correct

mating every time.

Committed to developing the next generation of advanced

interconnect solutions, Smiths Interconnect delivers the

critical edge that customers require with the Rugged D-Sub

connectors series.
