15-Position High-Density D-Sub, Vertical Solder
The Amphenol FCI 10090929-S154VLF is a 15-position high-density D-Sub receptacle from the 10090929 series. It uses the DE (E) high-density shell layout — the same footprint as a standard 9-position D-Sub but packed with 15 contacts in three rows. Termination is vertical through-hole solder, so the receptacle stands upright on the PCB. Board locks on the flange anchor it through wave solder.
Flange Hardware and Mating
This receptacle has a dual-flange setup: a 4-40 threaded insert on the board side for a standoff or bracket, and a 4-40 female screwlock on the mating face. The screwlock accepts the male jack-screws from the plug side — that threaded coupling is what keeps a D-Sub pair mated under vibration. Without it, the contact beams alone won't hold against cable strain. It mates with any standard high-density 15-position D-Sub plug that has the 4-40 male screwlock hardware. The pinout follows the D-Sub layout — three rows of five contacts each.
Plating: Flash Gold vs 30.0µin — the Real Selection Delta
The 10090929-S154VLF carries gold flash contacts. Same shell, same current rating, same flange hardware — the only difference is the plating thickness, which directly governs mating cycle life.
