Rhapso-D series connectors are military quality connectors
designed for use in sheltered, mildly corrosive environments having a
wide range of temperature, pressure and humidity changes.
Applicable crimp removable contact connectors are qualified to MIL-
DTL-24308 and SAE AS39029 (see page 82 for more information), and
will meet the performance requirements of IEC 60807-3, Performance
Level One.
Rhapso-D series connectors utilize precision machined contacts
with closed barrel, crimp terminations. The female utilizes Positronic’s
unique PosiBand closed entry system, see page 1 for details. “Robi-
D” open entry female contacts are also available.
Six standard connector variants are offered in arrangements of 9,
15, 25, 29, 37 and 50 contacts. Rhapso-D series connectors are
mateable and compatible with all D-subminiature connectors con-
forming to MIL-DTL-24308, IEC 60807-2 and IEC 60807-3.
A wide assortment of cable support hoods and locking systems is
available from stock.
