Features

External D-sub Connectors

D-sub Connectors Are Ideal for Office Automation Interfacing

XM2/XM3 D-sub connectors

• DIP terminal, solder cup terminal, or SMT-type can be selected according to the mounting method
• Connectors are shielded to protect against EMI
• XM3-LS Slim D-sub connectors help reduce board mounting area by 33% (compared with previous models)

XM2S D-sub Connector Assembly Hoods

• Metallized plastic hood provides excellent noise protection.
• Connectors are available with cables connected horizontally so the space behind the connectors can be used more effectively.
