Description

Solder-cup D-sub model selection

ULO-DB421 and ULO-MP421K are standard-density D-sub connectors for soldered wire termination. Both offer male and female versions with 9, 15, 25, 37 or 50 contacts. MP421K uses machined contacts and has its own current rating and contact-finish options.

9–37-contact mating outlines

Both models use the following dimensions for 9, 15, 25 and 37 contacts. A describes the male mating outline, D the female mating outline, B the mounting-centre distance and C the overall flange length. All table dimensions are in millimetres.

The two-row profiles show 2.77mm contact pitch and 2.84mm row spacing. The flange height is 12.50mm; male and female mating-height references are 9.20mm and 7.90mm respectively. Side profiles show a 0.90mm flange reference, with 10.70mm female and 11.00mm male longitudinal references.
