D-Sub Tools & Hardware

The portfolio includes a variety of components such as locking hooks, thumbscrews, bushings, standoff nuts, screw locks, latch locks, and lock springs. Additionally, Tools and Hardware for D-Sub connectors offer dust covers, regular dust caps, and shielded dust caps.

D-sub tools and hardware are essential for various electronic assemblies, commonly used in computer hardware and connectors, including serial and parallel ports. The “D” in D-sub refers to the distinctive “D-shaped” design of these components. Typically, D-sub tools are employed to fasten or attach connectors to surfaces, with examples including D-sub kits and D-sub crimpers. D-sub kits are used to make secure connections between D-sub connectors and their matching mating parts or screws, while D-sub crimpers ensure the crimps are correctly applied.

Jack screws or screw lock assemblies are critical for securing the male and female D-Sub connectors together. These assemblies physically lock the connectors in place, enhancing the reliability of the connection. Some jack screws come with the necessary hardware included, while others may require additional hardware that must be purchased separately.

When used correctly, D-sub tools and hardware ensure secure, functional connections between electrical components, playing an essential role in the proper operation of computer systems and other electronic devices.
