Frequently Asked Questions
Which connector shell sizes does this kit fit?
This kit contains the end disc brackets sized specifically for 50-contact D-subminiature connectors as indicated on the included 123-391 assembly sheet.
What fasteners are included to attach the brackets?
The kit supplies four 4-40 pan-head machine screws and four matching 4-40 hex nuts to secure the brackets to the connector mounting flanges.
Does one kit outfit a complete mated connector connection?
Yes. Each individual kit contains four brackets, four screws, four hex nuts, and two spring wire loops, outfitting both the pin connector and socket connector for one complete mated pair.
Before thumbscrews took over every cable hood, a proper spring latch was the fastest way to lock down a 50-pin bus against heavy vibration. Snap these onto your vintage interface and keep that wide connection right where it belongs.
