Overview

OEMs have applications requiring a reliable, durable connector. FCT D-Sub Connectors are time-tested for ruggedness and reliability.

Customers often need connectors that have a high current rating that fit in the same space as lower-current connectors. FCT D-Sub Connectors' machined contacts have increased current-carrying capacity over stamped contacts and are stronger mechanically, making them ideal for a range of applications.

Some applications require D-Sub connectors that are IP67 rated or non-magnetic. FCT D-Sub Connectors are available in waterproof and non-magnetic materials.
