Hermetic D-Sub Connectors

Hermetic Bulkhead Rectangular Connector

Standard Density D-sub Rectangular Connectors with #20 AWG contacts per MIL-C-24308 — (300V 5A) 9, 15, 25, 29, 37, or 50 contacts — DB9, DB15, DB25, DB37, DB50

High Density D-sub Rectangular connectors with #22 AWG contacts per MIL-C-24308 — (300V 5A) 15, 26, 44, 62, 78 or 104 contacts — DE15, DA26, DB44, DC62, DD78, DB15HD, DB26HD, DB44HD, DC62HD, DD78HD, DE19, DA31, DB52, DC79, DD104

Microminiature D-sub Rectangular connectors with #25 AWG contacts per MIL-C-83513 — (150V 3A) 9, 15, 21,25, 31, 37, 51, 67, 69 or 100 contacts — Micro DB connectors

Hermetic bulkhead rectangular connector versions with thermocouple contacts for Type T, J, K, or E thermocouples are available in standard density d-sub connector versions for 9, 15, 25, 37, and 50 #20 pin arrangements. They are supplied with mating connectors and loose crimp thermocouple-grade contacts. Please contact our sales engineering for quotes and more details for either single—or dual-sided DB connector versions.

Connector shell materials are tin-plated steel for standard and high-density connectors (#20 and #22 AWG contact sizes, respectively) and electroless nickel-plated aluminum or special-order stainless steel for micro d-sub connectors (#25 contact sizes). There is no cadmium or zinc plating.

While all PAVE products will comply with helium leak rating from <10-6 cc/sec to 10-9 cc/sec (air equivalent) depending upon design, PAVE also uses more cost effective air bubble in fluid leak testing typically at 80 psi (5 bar). Special high pressure testing up to 10 k psi (600 bar) is also available.
