MIL-DTL-24308 D-Sub connectors for military, aerospace and defense applications

The D-Sub is one of the most popular electronic connectors in the world, with many types of which Positronic produces a wide range. Among the most robust are the MIL-DTL-24308 D-Subminature connectors (RD, HDC, SND, DD, SDD, ...), which are designed for the very specific requirements of the US military and are also frequently used in the aerospace industry. Its design takes into account, for example, volatile environmental factors and protects the connection from extreme conditions and vibrations.

The connectors, affectionately known as "M24308" D-Sub connectors, are still an ideal choice for important and difficult tasks in the military and aerospace sectors. They are small enough to fit in tight spaces, reliable enough to provide long life, and properly molded for low-profile LRUs. When space and weight are critical and the user needs to accommodate many circuits in proportion to their size, M24308 connectors are a logical solution.

The size and efficiency of the D-connectors are well suited for high density electronics found in aircraft, missiles and related ground support systems. Engineers specify the MIL-D sub-connectors for military equipment, computer peripherals, modems, information and communication systems, industrial instruments, ground support equipment and space equipment.

The MIL-DTL-24308 connectors are available in many different styles and formats with a variety of options including class (general, space and non-magnetic), contact termination (crimp, solder cup and straight or right angle PCB mount) and type (standard contact density, high contact density and Kombo-D). They have a wide temperature range and are designed for operation between -55°C and +125°C.

While most military standard connectors have a round design, the M24308 D-Subs are flat and take up less vertical space on a board. And with metal sleeves there is additional protection and strength.
