RS PRO 9 Way Straight Micro-D Panel Mount Connector Female, 2.77 mm Pitch, 3A, 250V, Aluminium Shell 452-990

The RS PRO 452-990 is a Micro-D panel mount D-sub connector, female gender, with 9 contacts arranged in a high-density configuration and a 2.77 mm pitch. Designed for demanding industrial, instrumentation, and commercial environments, this connector delivers reliable signal and power transmission in compact spaces.

Its robust aluminium housing offers superior EMI and RFI shielding, making the connector suitable for applications with high electromagnetic interference. The durable housing also provides enhanced mechanical protection, ensuring long service life even in harsh or mobile equipment setups.

The straight orientation and panel mounting design, complete with mounting flanges, enable fast and secure installation into custom panels, electronics housings, instrumentation racks, or embedded systems. Contact gender is female, providing compatibility with standard Micro-D male plug connectors for versatile deployment in control systems, sensors, data loggers, telecommunication, and aerospace modules.

This connector reliably carries up to 3A at operating voltages up to 250V. Solder termination ensures robust attachment of leads or harnesses, while the gold-plated copper alloy contacts offer low contact resistance and prolonged resistance to shock, vibration, and corrosion. The interface seal further isolates contacts, providing additional protection against moisture and humidity - critical for both indoor and outdoor industrial applications.

With a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +135°C, this D-sub Micro-D connector excels in environments with significant ambient temperature variations. It meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements, ensuring enhanced safety in case of electrical faults.

Typical installation areas include industrial automation equipment, networking hardware, medical devices, portable instruments, laboratory test rigs, aircraft and spacecraft electronics, and high-reliability data and power routing circuits. Its compact and lightweight form makes it ideal for applications where weight and panel space are limited without sacrificing performance or reliability.
