Hardware D-Sub, D-Shaped Connector Jackscrews

Jack screws, also known as screw lock assemblies, secure the connection between D-Sub connectors by physically fastening the male and female connectors together. They are crucial for maintaining reliable electrical connections, particularly in high-vibration environments. Some jack screws come with the necessary hardware included, while others may require additional hardware.

Jack screws and their corresponding sockets are threaded fasteners designed to enhance the stability of connections, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection, signal loss, or electrical discontinuity. Typically, the assembly consists of a male screw on one connector and a matching female threaded socket on the other, providing strong mechanical support.

These components are widely used in applications requiring secure connections, such as aerospace and telecommunications. Their precise design ensures easy installation and removal, making them essential for situations where connection reliability is critical.
