Description
DIN 41622/41618 MULTIPIN CONNECTORS
Widely used in broadcast audio installations in Europe, both fixed and temporary, these are substantial, robust connectors, commonly referred to as Siemens type, but in fact available from several manufacturers, including Telegärtner, Binder and others.
Used in UK high-end broadcast consoles, such as the Clyde Broadcast Presenter series for miscellaneous connections, they are particularly suitable for swift termination of multipair audio cables with the minimum of fuss. Applications include inter-studio wiring, and multiple connections to rack mounted equipment.
Highly suitable for use with Canford KHJ 10 pair individually screened cable (BBC PIN 20/3), the 30 pin types (DIN41622) have large easily soldered contacts arranged (with staggered centre pins) in rows of three, with row A commonly used for hot, B for cold, and C for screen. Metal locking housings are fitted to panels using connector fitting bolts, and locate with shielded (metal) cable housings, to give a positive lock. The cable housing will fit through an aperture of only 50mm x 24mm, very handy indeed for threading through ducts!
Please note that cable connectors cannot be connected in-line.
The 39 pin types (DIN41618) are similar to the 30 pin types, but feature a higher pin density. They use the same cable housing and panel mount trough. Contacts on these types are silver plated (= 6µm).
Screws to secure connector bodies into the trough or cable housing have extended heads which are either male (ball) or female (cup). Screws must be arranged to mate and can be combined on connectors in four combinations (m+m, m+f, f+m and f+f) to ensure the correct connection of cables. Priced and sold singly.
