DB Connectors and Vibration

apatti · #1 01-31-2010, 12:38 PM

All,
My wiring system contains a lot of DB9, DB15, DB25 connectors. I was installing the shells around those connectors today and started wondering about if vibration would be a problem. So, are any of you using any kind of thread lock on the screws and nuts that hold the DBx connector shells together? Has anyone had any trouble with them coming apart?

Thanks,

I've got DB connectors everywhere Tony - never had one fall apart. No special thread locking or anything of the kind.

One data point, of course....

Paul,
Thanks for the reply. I have just gotten to where I can put those things together with ony two hands. I'd have to move next door to a toxic waste dump and grow an extra hand if I had to also add thread lock!
