D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Accessories - Jackscrews

D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Accessories - Jackscrews are specialized hardware components designed to secure and stabilize D-Sub connectors in their mating interfaces. Jackscrews are essential for maintaining reliable electrical connections by preventing accidental disengagement due to vibration, shock, or cable strain. These accessories are commonly used in industrial, telecommunications, and computing applications where durable and secure connections are critical.

This product category includes various types of jackscrews, such as standard threaded jackscrews, captive jackscrews, and thumbscrews, each offering distinct installation and usability advantages. Materials range from steel for high-strength applications to stainless steel or brass for corrosion resistance. Some jackscrews feature knurled or slotted heads for easy hand-tightening, while others are designed for tool-assisted fastening in high-torque environments.

When selecting jackscrews for your D-Sub connectors, consider the following:
1. Compatibility Ensure the thread size and length match your connector s specifications.
2. Material & Finish Choose corrosion-resistant options for harsh environments.
3. Ease of Use Captive or thumbscrew designs simplify maintenance and repeated connections.
4. Torque Requirements Verify if tool-tightened or hand-tightened screws are needed for your application.

Investing in high-quality jackscrews enhances connector longevity and system reliability, making them a cost-effective solution for mission-critical connections.
