The **A-DSF15LPIII-FP-R** is a specific electronic connector manufactured by **ASSMANN WSW Components**. It belongs to the D-Subminiature family, commonly used in computing, industrial controls, and networking. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the core technical attributes of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | D-Subminiature | | **Number of Positions** | 15 Pins | | **Gender** | Female (Socket) | | **Mounting Type** | Through Hole, Right Angle | | **Termination** | Solder | | **Shell Size** | DA (Standard 15-pin size) | | **Contact Material** | Copper Alloy | | **Contact Finish** | Gold Plated | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (R-suffix) | --- ### 2. Key Design Features * **Right Angle Orientation:** The "LPIII" designation typically refers to the low-profile, right-angle design. This is ideal for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting where vertical space is limited. * **15-Pin Layout:** Standard density 15-pin configuration, often used for game ports or legacy VGA connections (though VGA usually uses High-Density 15-pin). * **Front Panel Mounting:** The "FP" in the part number indicates features for front panel mounting, often including threaded inserts or specific flange geometries to secure the connector to a chassis. * **Durability:** The gold plating on the contacts ensures high conductivity and prevents oxidation over long periods of use. --- ### 3. Common Applications This part is frequently found in: 1. **Industrial Machinery:** For RS-232/RS-422 serial communication interfaces. 2. **Telecommunications:** Signal routing and data transmission. 3. **Legacy Computing:** Connecting peripherals such as joysticks or older MIDI devices. 4. **Test Equipment:** Interface ports for diagnostic tools. --- ### 4.
