Rhapso-D Series connectors are Military/Industrial quality rectangu-
lar connectors designed for use in sheltered, mildly corrosive environ-
ments having a wide range of temperature, pressure and humidity
changes. These crimp removable contact connectors are qualified to
MIL-DTL-24308 and MIL-C-39029, and will meet the performance
requirements of IEC 807-3, Performance Level One.
Rhapso-D Series connectors utilize precision machined contacts
with closed barrel, crimp terminations. The female contact features a
rugged closed entry design contact with stainless steel shroud. A
“Robi-D Open Entry” female contact is also available.
Six standard connector variants are offered in arrangements of 9,
15, 25, 29, 37 and 50 contacts. Rhapso-D Series connectors are mate-
able and compatible with all D-Subminiature connectors conforming to
MIL-DTL-24308, IEC 807-2 and IEC 807-3.
A wide assortment of cable support hoods and locking systems is
available from stock.
Rhapso-D Series connectors conform to EIA RS 232 and RS 449,
and CCITT X.24 interface connection requirements.

REELS FOR AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC CRIMP TOOLS
Contacts may be supplied in plastic carriers, packaged in
reels holding 2,000 contacts for use with the automatic
pneumatic crimp tools, catalog part number
9550-1. The same type carrier is used for both male and
female contacts.
All male and female crimp contacts can be ordered in reels
by adding letter “R” after the contact part number, such as
MC6020DR for a male contact and FC6026DR for a female
contact.

(M22520/2-01)
Part No. 9507
INSERTION/REMOVAL TOOL
(M81969/1-02)
Part No. 4711-2
This fast cycling automatic crimp tool produces an 8 indent
crimp on wire sizes 20 AWG [0.5mm2] through 32 AWG
[0.03mm2]. Rhapso-D Series contacts must be ordered on
reels.
To order, specify part number 9550-1. Foot control valve is
supplied as a standard accessory.
This miniature 8 step adjustable hand crimping tool produces
an 8 indent crimp configuration and will crimp wire sizes 18
AWG [1.0mm2] through 32 AWG [0.03mm2].
To crimp wire size 18 AWG [1.0mm2], order contact position-
er 9502-11. To crimp wire size 20 AWG [0.5mm2] through 30
AWG [0.05mm2], order contact positioner 9502-5. Each posi-
tioner is equipped with a data plate which gives the correct
crimp-depth setting for each wire size, and must be used with
9507 tool frame for best results when crimping Rhapso-D
Series contacts.
One end of this tool is used to insert contacts into Rhapso-D
Series connectors. The other end is used to extract contacts.
This is accomplished by sliding the extraction tip down the
wire into the connector until it bottoms against the contact. A
slight rotation while pushing will release the contacts, which
are then extracted by simultaneously pulling on the wire.
