It uses a free-hanging (in-line) mounting style, so it lands as a cable-end connector rather than a panel-mount or PCB-solder version. ## Termination and Cable Prep The IDC termination accepts 26-28 AWG stranded or solid wire — the insulation displacement forks pierce the ribbon cable jacket in one press operation. No stripping or crimping needed; a standard IDC hand press or pneumatic tool seats the cable in the slot. The feed-through feature means the cable passes through the connector body, simplifying daisy-chain or pass-through wiring in a harness. ## Mating and Mounting This receptacle mates with any standard D-sub plug (male) having the same shell size and layout. The unthreaded housing/shell flange means it uses a slide-lock or screw-lock retention system. ## Ratings and Environment Rated 1.25 A per contact — this is a signal-level current, not for power distribution. The gold contact finish at 30.0 µinch is thick enough for frequent mating cycles in corrosive or humid environments — a step above flash gold found on low-cycle consumer connectors.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 1658612-3 AMPLIMITE HDF-20 D-Sub Receptacle","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 1658612-3 AMPLIMITE HDF-20 D-sub receptacle, 15 positions, IDC ribbon cable termination, gold contacts, free hanging.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"AMPLIMITE HDF-20","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["D-Sub & D-Shaped Connectors","D-Sub Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Series":"AMPLIMITE HDF-20","Package":"Tube","Features":"Feed Through","Wire Gauge":"26-28 AWG, Stranded or Solid","Termination":"IDC, Ribbon Cable","Contact Form":"-","Contact Type":"Signal","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Receptacle, Female Sockets","Contact Finish":"Gold","Flange Feature":"Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"-","Backset Spacing":"-","Connector Style":"D-Sub","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"1658612","Dielectric Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"15","Current Rating (Amps)":"1.25A","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Shell Material, Finish":"Steel, Tin Plated","Contact Finish Thickness":"30.0µin (0.76µm)","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Shell Size, Connector Layout":"2 (DA, A)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$9.8200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$9.82000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$8.88000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$8.64480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$8.31580","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$7.70500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$7.65804","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$7.37614","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$6.57745","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/5eec56d19181c6a5aa128741ceb7bc6e.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the 1658612-3 and what does it mate with?","answer":"The 1658612-3 is a 15-position D-sub receptacle (female sockets) from the TE AMPLIMITE HDF-20 series.
