Db9 Female Right Angle Connector

A DB9 Female Right Angle Connector is a type of electrical connector commonly used in various applications, particularly in computer and serial communication systems. It belongs to the D-subminiature (D-sub) connector family, which is known for its robustness and versatility.

Here is a description of the DB9 Female Right Angle Connector:

• Connector Type: The connector is known as DB9 because it has 9 pins arranged in two rows of 5 and 4 pins, respectively. It is also sometimes referred to as a DE-9 connector.
• Gender: The connector is “female,” which means it has receptacles (holes) to accept male connectors with exposed pins.
• Right Angle Design: The key feature of this connector is its right-angle design, where the cable entry or the back of the connector is at a 90-degree angle to the connector’s face. This design is beneficial when there is limited space, and it allows for neater cable routing and reduces strain on the cable and connector.
• Pin Configuration: The DB9 connector has 9 pins, and each pin serves a specific purpose in data communication or other applications. The pinout typically includes pins for transmitting and receiving data, ground connections, and other control signals depending on the specific application.
• Application: DB9 connectors were commonly used in serial communication interfaces, such as RS-232, for connecting devices like computer serial ports, modems, printers, and other peripherals. However, with the advancement of technology, they are becoming less common in modern devices, often replaced by more compact and advanced connectors like USB and HDMI.
• Screw Locks: Some DB9 connectors may have screws on either side of the connector’s face, allowing for a more secure connection when mated with the appropriate screws on the male connector.
