D‑Sub 9‑pin (Sub‑D) connector metalized, ShiverPeaks 79109‑M

ShiverPeaks S/CONN 79109‑M is a metalized 9‑pin D‑Sub (Sub‑D) connector designed for reliable signal and data interfacing. The compact rectangular metalized shell contains nine contacts arranged in the standard D‑sub layout, providing a familiar mechanical and electrical interface for serial, parallel and custom cable assemblies. The connector is suitable for PCB or cable mounting in industrial, instrumentation and communication equipment where a durable metal shell and precise contact alignment are required.

Advantages

The metalized shell offers mechanical robustness and improved electromagnetic screening compared with non‑metalized housings, while the standard 9‑pin contact arrangement ensures compatibility with existing Sub‑D cabling and devices. Its compact rectangular form factor allows efficient use of panel and PCB space, and the metal finish helps maintain connector grounding and long‑term durability in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Serial RS‑232/RS‑422/RS‑485 connections and legacy communication ports
• Instrumentation and measurement equipment requiring stable data links
• Custom cable assemblies and adapters for industrial control systems
• PCB or panel mounting where mechanical shielding and grounding are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: 9‑pin D‑Sub (Sub‑D) in standard pin layout
• Shell material/finish: metalized shell for enhanced shielding and mechanical strength
• Mounting options: suitable for PCB mounting or cable attachment depending on variant
• Contact configuration: nine signal contacts for serial and parallel interfaces
• Application environment: designed for industrial, instrumentation and communication equipment

How to use

Install the connector according to your device’s mechanical drawings, aligning the D‑shaped shell with the mating panel cutout or cable housing. For PCB variants, solder or press the contact tails to the board following manufacturer recommended soldering profiles and grounding practices. For cable assemblies, terminate the nine conductors to the corresponding pins using appropriate crimping or soldering methods and ensure secure strain relief. Verify pin assignment before powering connected equipment to prevent wiring errors.

Recommendations

Use proper grounding of the metalized shell to maintain EMC performance. Select strain relief and mounting hardware suited to the operating environment to avoid mechanical stress on contacts. Inspect mating interfaces for contamination or damage before repeated connections to ensure reliable signal transmission.
