It terminates via solder cups — each cup accepts a stripped wire end, soldered in place, making it a field-serviceable interconnect for cable harnesses rather than a PCB-mounted connector. The free-hanging (in-line) body mates with a standard DE-size D-sub plug, and the unthreaded housing shell relies on the mating half's hardware for jack-screw retention. Rated 7.5A per contact and 1000V, this receptacle carries more current per pin than a typical signal-grade D-sub — the 7.5A figure is limited by the contact's temperature rise, not the shell size.
The unthreaded flange means the mating plug must carry the threaded inserts or nut clips for jack-screw locking; this receptacle provides the clearance holes only. Termination is solder cup: each contact has a cup that accepts a tinned or bare wire end, soldered with a standard iron. No crimp tooling required — a soldering station and heat-shrink tubing are the only field tools. The free-hanging design suits cable-to-cable or cable-to-panel harnesses where a PCB is not present.
