D-Sub full metal hoods with screw locking

D-Sub connectors with screw-locked housings are essential for all applications that are exposed e. g. to mechanical stress (vibration, pull, torque) or high temperature variations and still need to lock reliably and without any clearance or backlash.

Thus, screw locks not only ensure reliable contacting of the connectors, but in all-metal housings they also improve theground contact and thus the EMC of the connector.

In addition, the screw connections must enable quick and easy installation, should not corrode in adverse environmental conditions and should be able to be easily disconnected and relocked, even after a long installation time.

As a specialist for shielded connection systems, Inotec electronics has the widest range of full-metal hoods for D-Sub connectors with the MS, MSX, MSB, MSBS and M11 / M30 adaptor hood series.

MS series – maximum bandwidth and versatility

Our universal hood series with up to 3 cable inputs covers all sizes. Besides the compact standard geometry, it is also available as an extended version with additional space, e.g. for special cabling or printed circuit boards. The wide range of locking screw variants with classic knurled head or combined with hexagon socket covers all assembly situations. Due to their different head shapes, the thread types 4-40 UNC (standard) and M3 are also easy to distinguish. All hoods are supplied with captive pre-assembled locking screws. 
Using the DG09MS as an example, the available screw connection options are shown.

MSB series – the universal solution for data bus applications

D-Sub connectors are still a preferred interface for the integration of end devices into bus systems. With the MSB series, Inotec offers the perfect basis for the construction of fully shielded bus connectors in combination with the unique crimp flange in dovetail design. On request, Inotec offers its MSB housing fully equipped as an intermediate or final version for all common bus systems.

Special features:

  • Locking screws 4-40 UNC or M3, captive pre-assembled
  • Two parallel 30° cable inputs do enable space-saving cabling even with large bending radii
  • Optimum stacking due to compact external dimensions
  • Large interior space to accommodate printed circuit boards
  • Long blanket for efficient shielding even in high interference levels
  • Long blanket for reliable shielding even at high noise levels

MSBS series – compact data bus connectors for high packing density

Weight saving and the optimal utilization of limited installation spaces are essential design premises in most industrial communication systems. With the development of its compact MSBS housing Inotec has set a particular focus on these requirements. Specially designed for BUS applications, MSBS series is only available for 9-way connectors. Due to the relatively small diameters of commonly used BUS data cables Inotec could develop a space-saving crimp flange named CF400, allowing two parallel 30° cable entries and maximized installation space inside the hood. The DG09MSBS is available either as empty backshell for individual use or as completely assembled BUS connector for all common systems.

Special features:

  • Compact design enables high packing density
  • Special crimp flange geometry CF400 for data bus cables
  • Free access to locking screws, even in unfavorable installation
    positions
  • Fully compatible with the Inotec coding system
  • Long blanket for safe shielding even at high noise levels

MSBS series – bus connectors ready for use

In addition to the freely configurable standard housing, Inotec also manufactures fully assembled connector housings for all common bus systems. The matching crimp flanges and crimp sleeves for cable processing are to be purchased separately in accordance with cable-specific crimp flange specifications. We are happy to offer customer-specific configurations on request.

Configuration options:

  • D-Sub 9-way / HD 15-way
  • Male / female
  • Cable entry right / left
  • Long blanket / short blanket
  • Screw lock 4-40 UNC/M3
  • Coupling plug with 4-40 UNC/M3
  • bolts
  • Inotec coding system
  • PCB wit individual pin assignment
  • SMD or DIP assembly

MSX series – for highest safety requirements

The MSX series has been developed for highly sensitive applications in high frequency ranges or with high noise levels. The blanket on the housing has the maximum depth closing the gap to the front panel of the end device when the locking screws are tightened. The contact with the front panel also provides additional grounding. MSX interfaces achieve maximum shielding of the transmitted data or signals. Special screws with a transverse hole in the screw head also allow the mounted housing to be sealed and thus offer protection against unauthorized access.

Special features:

  • Extended “close-the-gap” blanket for an interference-free connection to a terminal device
  • Large interior space e.g. for installation of mixed connectors or integration of PC boards
  • Pre-assembled captive M3 screws with sealing bores

Important notice:
Mating connector must be mounted in rear panel configuration and panel thickness must be kept between 2,0 and 2,5 mm.
