waterproof D-sub connector

Waterproof D-sub connectors have all the same features of the standard D-sub, but are sealed with epoxy and contain a silicon O-ring to meet the waterproof protection rating IP67.

Engineering options

Waterproof D-sub connectors are available in vertical or right-angle orientations. Two contact termination options are available: PC tail and solder cup. Mounting options for panel mount or connector mating include threaded standoffs with or without boardlocks, and can be supplied with a mounting bracket for right angle PCB orientation.

Cable or wired d-sub connector options

The D-sub connector can be waterproofed by inserting the connector into the waterproof hood. Over molded waterproof hoods or back shells are available with the D-sub and wire already pre-installed to the waterproof hood. A separate Waterproof hood or back shell is also available to manually assemble your own waterproof D-sub cable. First, take out the rubber seal from the hood and insert the wire from the back of the hood. Then, solder the wire to the solder cap on the D-sub connector, which the connector will be fixed in the hood after pushing into it firmly. Finally, tighten the cable screw on the hood and put the rubber seal back in to the hood. The cable assembly can be used to connect to the cable mount.

A combination of cable mount to panel mount (straight or right-angle) are always preferred. The blank on the panel allows the screws to mount the waterproof D-sub on the panel as well as the waterproof cable to connect to the D-sub. The rubber seal on the waterproof D-sub prevents water leakage from the blanks on the panel. After connecting the waterproof cable or over molded cable to the D-sub by thumb screws on the hood, the rubber seal on the cable can prevent water leaking into the connector and protect the contacts.
