Micro-D Connectors Market Overview
Micro-D connectors are about half the size of D-sub connectors. Both are shaped like the letter D. The early D-shaped connectors were first used in computers because of their compact design. Offering reliable and secure electrical connections, they feature at least two rows of parallel pins and offer high density in a miniature design. The D-shaped socket or plug also provides shielding from EMI. This fits snugly into the receptacle, providing a secure mechanical attachment as well as proper alignment and fit.
