D SERIES CIRCULAR PLASTIC CONNECTORS

Category: Connectors, Electronics, Smiths Connectors

Overview

The D SERIES CIRCULAR PLASTIC CONNECTORS datasheet describes a range of connectors characterized by robust, high impact plastic bodies designed for quick disconnection via a push-button release. The series includes connectors with 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, and 25 contact versions, each rated up to 8 amps per contact. They are UL recognized components (File No. 102195). Users can insert either pins or sockets into each connector half, enabling versatile configurations.

Key Features

Design: The connectors feature alignment and keying through the connector housing.

Contacts: They offer diverse contact options, including crimp, solder cup, and PCB contacts to facilitate a wide range of electrical connections.

Color Coding: To support easy identification and prevent erroneous connections, color-coding options are available for the connectors.

Connector Dimensions

Dimensions provide guidance on the physical layout and size of connectors, including the mated length when connectors are joined, the diameter of the housing (G Dia.), as well as two types of housing measurements (DO1 and DO2). Each housing type has different dimensions (in inches and millimeters) for the mated length, diameter, and minimum and maximum lengths.

Mating Face Lengths

DO1 Housing: Ranges from 1.142 inches (29.00mm) to 2.4 inches (61.00mm).

DO2 Housing: Ranges from 1.358 inches (34.50mm) to 2.953 inches (75.00mm).

Mounting Dimensions

For secure installation, mounting dimensions are specified including hole diameter (H Dia. and J Dia.), which are the minimum and maximum dimensions prepared for mounting the connectors. Specifications such as thread sizes (M11X 1.00 Thd. and M15 X 1.00 Thd.) ensure compatibility with panel installations.

Hole Punches and Panel Recommendations

Recommendations for panel material thicknesses for both steel and aluminum are given to ensure proper installation without damaging the panels or the connectors.

Tightening Torque: Suggested tightening torque for panel mount receptacle is listed between .452 and .678 Nm to secure the connectors without over-tightening.
