I guess I tend to view DSUBs favorably because they're used for almost all the projects I work on. I haven't really heard of Harting connectors; what makes them better than DSUBS in your opinion? | |

If there is a such need for fast connection for machine transport, then only Harting connectors are used. Now, if you like the DSUB, then use them, me not. There are also lot of quality terminal blocks screw mounting, spring mount, ..somehow you have to fix the wire on the connector and its much better than soldering wires. | |
| Jan 15, 2021 at 21:56 | comment | added | Kuba hasn't forgotten Monica | @MarkoBuršič DSUB connectors can be had in industrial, military and NASA specifications, and are used all the time in space hardware - that's the indefatigable Amplimite 109 series from (now) TE Connectivity. Good enough for space is good enough for anyone, I'd think. I usually use that series for internal and T&M gear, because all the pins are machined, and because there are useful variants available (blind mating and improved EMI performance, for example). I hate terminal blocks because they imply manual wiring - cost and mistakes. Nope for me. I guess you never experienced the proper DSUB! | |

| Jan 15, 2021 at 20:52 | comment | added | Marko Buršič | I hate DSUB connectors, this is my contribution. When I look at a project with DSUB, I always look the way how to replace them with terminal blocks as you already have. I do think the Keysight engineers had the same opinion. | |
