The **D369-R33-BP** is a high-performance subminiature connector part, primarily manufactured by **TE Connectivity (DEUTSCH)**. It belongs to the **369 Series**, which was developed to provide a reliable, lightweight solution for harsh environments, particularly in the aerospace and defense sectors. --- ### ## Technical Specifications The following table outlines the core electrical and physical characteristics of the D369-R33-BP: | Attribute | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | DEUTSCH 369 | | **Connector Type** | Receptacle (Socket) | | **Number of Positions** | 3 (arranged in a single row) | | **Contact Gender** | Pin (Plug) or Socket (depending on insert) | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount / Nut Fix | | **Shell Material** | Composite (High-performance Thermoplastic) | | **Plating** | Black Polymer (Non-conductive) | | **IP Rating** | IP67 (Dust tight and immersion) | | **Operating Temp** | -55°C to +175°C | --- ### ### Key Features 1. **Lightweight Design:** Constructed from high-grade composite materials, it offers significant weight savings over traditional circular metal connectors (MIL-DTL-38999). 2. **Space Efficiency:** The rectangular shape allows for high-density side-by-side stacking, which is critical in narrow aircraft cabins or electronic bays. 3. **Scoop-Proof Design:** The housing prevents the pins from being damaged if the mating connector is accidentally angled during installation. 4. **Acoustic/Tactile Feedback:** Features a "click" locking mechanism to ensure the connector is fully seated and secured against vibration. --- ### ### Typical Applications The D369 series is designed for signal and low-power distribution in environments where reliability cannot be compromised: * **Commercial Aviation:** In-flight entertainment (IFE) systems, lighting, and seat electronics. * **Military/Defense:** UAV (Drone) wiring harnesses and portable soldier communication systems. * **Industrial:** High-vibration machinery and robotics where space is constrained. --- ### ### Comparison: D369 vs. Standard Connectors | Feature | D369-R33-BP | Standard Circular (e.g., 38999) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Shape** | Rectangular / Slim | Circular / Bulky | | **Weight** | Very Low | Moderate to High | | **Installation** | Tool-less push-button | Threaded or Bayonet | | **Sealing** | Triple-barrier wire seals | Gaskets and O-rings |
