15-Position D-Sub Plug with Board Lock and Grounding Indents
The Amphenol FCI LD15P24A4GV00LF is a 15-position D-Sub plug with male pins arranged in two rows, housed in a size 2 (DA, A) shell. This is the plug half of a standard-density interconnect — mates with the matching LD15S24A4GV00LF receptacle.
5 A per Contact — What It Means for the Fit
Gold flash plating is specified for this part.
Board Lock and Grounding Indents — Deployment Context
The grounding indents on the shell create a metal-to-metal contact with the mating receptacle's shell, bleeding shield current before it reaches the pins. For a D-Sub in a shielded cable assembly, this is the difference between a clean ground path and a ground loop through the signal return.
Flange Hardware and Sibling Comparison
The LD15P24A4GV00LF carries female screwlocks (4-40) on the mating side — the standard for panel-mount retention with a matching receptacle. The sibling LD15P24A4GX00LF swaps this to housing/shell (4-40) flange hardware, which changes the panel cut-out and screw type required. Both are active, 15-position, size 2 (DA, A) plugs with the same board lock and grounding indents — the flange hardware is the only functional difference. Choose the GV00LF when your panel or mating half expects female screwlocks; the GX00LF when the hardware is on the shell itself.
