Figure 4-2. D-Subminiature Connector Examples
D-Subminiature connectors are also called Type ‘D’ or ‘D-Sub’ connectors. The
cable plug and chassis receptacle each feature a D-shaped profile that interlock
to ensure proper pin orientation and connector seating. The connector pair
features multiple rows of pins (male side) coupled to mating sockets (female
side).
Whether the gender is male or female, the cable plug features two jack screws
for secure connection to the jack nuts provided on the mating chassis receptacle.
Connection Instructions
Orient the plug to the receptacle in the proper position. Press firmly into place.
Hand tighten, or use a standard flat-blade screwdriver, to secure the plug jack
screws to the receptacle jack nuts. Do not over-tighten.
