RS PRO 5 Pole Straight Standard DIN Socket, 4A, 100V AC, Push Lock Cable, Female, Shielded, YE-147XS 491-217

The RS PRO 491-217 is a high-quality, straight standard DIN socket featuring a 5-pole configuration for versatile connectivity in electronic, computing, and industrial devices. This cable-mount female connector is engineered to handle up to 4A of current at 100V AC, making it a dependable solution for low-voltage power and signal applications.

Designed with ease of installation in mind, the push lock mating mechanism ensures quick and secure connection and disconnection, reducing the risk of accidental unplugging. The straight orientation allows for compact mounting in equipment panels and electronic assemblies. A combination of ABS housing and zinc alloy shield delivers robust protection against mechanical stress and electromagnetic interference, while the silver-plated brass contacts guarantee excellent conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance.

This DIN socket incorporates a steel nickel-plated set screw and 'T' holder to firmly secure the cable, ensuring sustainable and reliable performance even under regular mechanical strain. With tested insulation resistance of at least 100 megohms at 500V DC and contact resistance for pins (30 milliohms max.) and shell (50 milliohms max.), it offers consistent signal integrity and safety.

Featuring 5 contacts in the female arrangement, the socket meets requirements for various applications, such as computer peripherals, control systems, audio/video interfaces, medical devices, and industrial automation. The product's cable mount design is ideal for custom cable assemblies and installation in environments that require frequent connection cycles.

Typical use cases include signal transmission in personal computers, audio and video equipment, powered devices, and data systems that require a secure, low-resistance connection within a compact circular connector form. Its shielded construction further protects sensitive signals from EMI.

The RS PRO 491-217 DIN socket is trusted by engineers for its value, reliability, and ease of use across a range of industrial and commercial automation settings. Whether integrating new equipment or maintaining legacy hardware, this connector offers flexible compatibility with standard DIN interface requirements.
