D-Sub connector Tecline 10015R full metal with knurled screws

D-Sub connector Tecline 10015R full metal with knurled screws is a compact, full-metal D-Sub interface designed for reliable signal and data connections in electronic equipment. The metal shell provides mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding while the knurled screws allow secure, tool-free fastening to mating connectors or panels. The connector is intended for situations where a durable housing and positive screw retention are required to maintain stable contact and minimize intermittent connections.

Advantages

The full-metal housing offers enhanced mechanical durability and EMI shielding compared with plastic alternatives, helping to reduce interference and protect contacts from mechanical stress. Knurled screws enable quick hand-tightening and secure mating without additional tools, improving assembly speed and serviceability. The design supports consistent contact alignment and reliable electrical connection in environments with vibration or repeated mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and factory automation
• Custom electronics and prototype assemblies
• Workshop equipment and test instruments
• Embedded systems and communication devices requiring robust connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub full-metal shell
• Housing material: metal (full metal construction)
• Fastening: knurled screw retention for hand or tool-assisted tightening
• Function: signal and data interface with mechanical protection and shielding
• Typical usage environment: industrial, workshop, custom electronics

How to use

Align the D-Sub connector with the mating connector or panel cutout so that the shell and pins match orientation. Engage the connector until the contacts are fully seated, then tighten the knurled screws by hand until secure; use a screwdriver only if higher torque is required. When removing, loosen the screws fully before pulling to avoid damaging contacts. Ensure mating connectors are clean and free of debris to maintain reliable electrical contact.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, install the connector in environments protected from excessive moisture and corrosive agents. Verify compatibility of pin count and signal assignment with the mating connector before installation. Periodically inspect screw threads and contact areas for wear or contamination and tighten screws if any looseness is detected during operation.
