ERNI Unveils New D-Sub Power Connectors

ERNI Electronics (Moraga, CA) expanded its range of D-sub connectors to include a new modular design. Besides SMT and press-in versions, D-sub male and female multi-point connectors with high-current contacts are now available in the 7W2 configuration. Configuration possibilities include 5W5 and 9W4 versions or other alternatives. The surface is silver-plated. Signal contacts can be partially assembled at no additional charge.

The new D-sub power connectors are available in the standard mounting height of 7.3 mm in accordance with DIN 41652 and CECC 75301-802. The nominal current is specified at 25 A (at 20 °C) for the high-current contacts and 5 A (at 20 °C) for the signal contacts. Beyond that, the maximum temperature limits for the application and the circuit board's technical data must be taken into account. The test voltage is rated at 1,000 Veff, while creepage distances and clearances are specified at >1 mm.

The new D-sub power connectors are available from stock. Pricing starts at $2 each in volume.
