A D-Subminiature plug, commonly known as a D-sub plug, is a type of electrical connector used for data transmission. It features a D-shaped metal shell that provides mechanical support and helps align the pins and sockets. D-sub connectors come in various sizes and pin configurations, making them suitable for different applications, including computer interfaces and industrial equipment. These connectors are widely used in devices like computers, monitors, and printers. They are known for their durability and reliability, often featuring a screw-lock mechanism to secure the connection. D-subminiature plugs are essential in ensuring stable communication between electronic devices.
