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.
