“D-Sub PushPull eliminates the need for fixing screws, utilising a straightforward push-pull mechanism that securely attaches to fixing bolts,” according to the company. “With options for internal or external cable clamps, the connector accommodates cable diameters up to 14mm and supports up to three cable entries.”
They are available for connector sizes 09, 15 and 25, in either plain plastic or metallised plastic versions.
Shock and vibration is in line with IEC 61373, category 1, class B.
To fit it, small barbs in the kit are threaded into the retaining bosses at either end of the panel connector (see photo), and the back-shell of the cable end is replaced with a backshell that has sliding sides and shuttered holes suitable for engaging the heads of the barbs.
One thus modified the connector is simply pushed home to mate the two halves, and to un-mate, the backshell is grasped by the sides and pulled away – during which the backshell sides slide slightly against the core of the backshell, releasing the barb retaining mechanism.
In addition, the push-pull latching parts are compatible with the company’s earlier coding system that allows otherwise identical connectors to spurn mating unless both parts have the correctly-coded additions – 36 different patterns are available.

Last year, Mobix Labs introduced a family of EMI-reducing filtered D-sub connectors.
