CONEC D-SUB Combination connectors

…Proven design – new functionality

In modern technical systems, secure and compact connections for signals, control, and power lines are essential. Combination D-SUB connectors provide an efficient solution: they integrate different contact types within a single robust connector housing, reduce complex cabling, and simplify maintenance and component replacement. Whether in industrial automation, vehicle and marine control systems, energy installations, or aerospace applications, these connectors ensure that critical information is transmitted reliably—even under demanding environmental conditions

A choice can be made between the Combination D-SUB, Combination D-SUB High Density and Combination D-SUB Dual Port series.

The connectors are always supplied with signal contacts, except for the crimp version. The high-current, high-voltage and coaxial contacts can be ordered separately or can be mounted in the connector at the factory.

With five shell sizes and possible pin combinations of high voltage, power and co-axial CONEC´s D-SUB Combination connectors offer more flexibility than other solutions on the market. For example, this also allows faster connect/disconnect for applications requiring multiple RF connections.

Included configurations are:

• No hardware, flange has thru holes, typically used in a hood for the cable end
• Flange threads in 4-40
• Standoffs for straight PCB mounting with or without boardlock clips
• Right angle bracket with mounting hole locations in accordance with the footprint chosen

The connectors are available in two variants:

Advantages:

• Proven design – new functionality
• 5 housing sizes
• Current rating Power contacts up to 40 A
• Coax contacts 50/75 Ohm
• High-voltage contacts: up to 2.8 kV
• Wide range of mounting options
• High-quality precision machined contacts

Fields of application:

• Aerospace technology
• Mechanical engineering
• Medical technology
• Military
• Telecommunications
• Test and measurement technology

CONEC D-SUB Combination connectors are used in a wide range of demanding applications, including image-guided medical technology. In interventional radiology devices and cardiovascular X-ray systems, they serve as the interface between the motor and the motion controller.
They ensure reliable signal and power transmission—even in very tight installation spaces—while guaranteeing accurate and uninterrupted delivery of critical control and status information.

In the maritime sector, D-SUB Combination connectors are used in engine and propulsion control systems. They are integrated into motor status control panels, where they consolidate signal and control lines between engine controllers, sensors, and display units. For example, a single connector can transmit engine temperature, oil pressure, rotational speed, and alarm states to the central monitoring and control system.

The robust design of these combination connectors ensures reliable performance despite vibrations, moisture, and temperature fluctuations commonly encountered in marine environments.
