Accessories and Replacements for D-Sub Connectors

Use extraction tools to remove the pins after crimping.

Crimpers are required for wire installation for crimp-on connectors. They ratchet to ensure the correct pressure is applied to every crimp.

D-Sub Cords

Connect computers, monitors, printers, and other devices with DB connections.

DB15 Plug × DB15 Plug

DB15

RS-232—RS-232 cords transmit data between a modem and another device, such as a computer.

Shielded—Shielded cords have foil to prevent signal interference from nearby devices. Use them in settings with low to moderate signal interference, such as labs, storage facilities, and offices.

Double Shielded—Double-shielded cords have braid and foil for better protection against signal interference than shielded cords. However, the extra shielding adds diameter and reduces flexibility. They’re used in steel mills, machine tool plants, and other heavy processing facilities.

DB15 Plug × Wire Leads


	DB15

Each wire lead is a separate color for easy identification and they are labeled with the pin that they are connected to. The thumb screws on these connectors have slots so they can be tightened with a screwdriver in tight spaces.

Cords with with DB9, DB15, and DB25 connections are RS-232, so they transmit data between computers and equipment.
