The barriers are placed between each contact on the insert to extend the creepage distance for the improvement of dielectric withstanding voltage characteristic.
Each of the plug shells and the receptacle shells can apply to both of the pin insert assemblies and the socket insert assemblies respectively excluding shell size 10SL.
A combination of the sockets for input and pin for output is recommended since D/MS A/B series is often used for high voltage equipment to prevent from any accidents.
The plug shell has a key way and the receptacle shell has a key. The key will be inserted into the key way before the contacts are mated. The insert is rotated within the shell from standard key way and 4 kinds of alternate insert positions, W, X, Y and Z are available to avoid cross-plugging problem in applications requiring the use of more than one connector of the same size and arrangement.
The solder cups in the insert assembly face in same direction to solder cables easier.
The surface of shells is coated with zinc plating and finished with trivalent chromium treatment(*) in color black or cation electroplating finish to conform to RoHS directives. (* Cadmium plating and Olive Drab color is MIL- DTL-5015 specification). The conventional DMS series in Olive Drab color is also available upon your request.
