DRB-60
Features and Benefits
Applications
http://www.deutschipd.com
Originally created to fill an international
market need, a high density bulkhead
application. The DRB Series is a natural
expansion to the common contact wire
termination approach synonymous with
Deutsch Industrial Products Division.
Recently, the DRB completed three years
of concept and design testing
development, computer refinements, solid
modeling, customer response, mold flow
analysis and production tooling. A sixty
pin layout is available with more layouts
planned.
The DRB flange and receptacle are mountable and matable by a single
installer from one side of the bulkhead.
The insert arrangement uses multiple sizes of contacts.
Available in environmental and non-environmental versions.
Secondary locks for contacts.
Plug and receptacle mate with a single sturdy jackscrew.
Requires only a small screw driver and hex wrench to mount and mate.
Customer choice of solid or stamped and formed contacts, each terminating
with existing tooling.
