It is the shell-and-insulator assembly only — contacts are ordered separately. The connector uses the DA (A) shell size, the standard 15-pin D-Sub layout, arranged in two rows. The housing is free-hanging (in-line) with an unthreaded flange, suited for cable-to-panel or cable-to-cable applications where the mating connector provides the threaded hardware. The shell is steel with a yellow trivalent chromate zinc plating, 200 µin (5.08 µm) thick, offering corrosion resistance and a ground path for shield current. The insulator is glass-filled nylon (polyamide), black. The 15-position count matches the standard DA shell layout. The 205205-7 mates with a standard 15-position D-Sub plug housing (male pin side) of the same AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series — the DA shell size is the key compatibility check. The unthreaded flange means the mating plug should carry the threaded insert or the cable clamp hardware; this housing relies on the mating half for jack-screw retention. Contacts are not included. This housing accepts AMPLIMITE HDP-20 female crimp contacts. ## Shell and Mechanical Construction Notes The steel shell with yellow trivalent chromate zinc plating provides the EMI/RFI shielding typical of D-Sub connectors. The 200 µin (5.08 µm) plating thickness is standard for the HDP-20 series and gives good corrosion resistance in indoor industrial environments. The unthreaded flange keeps the housing lighter and simpler for in-line cable assemblies where the mating plug carries the locking hardware. For panel-mount applications, a separate threaded female screw-lock or a cable clamp kit is needed. The glass-filled nylon insulator withstands typical soldering and reflow temperatures in the assembly area, though the housing itself is not wave-soldered — it is a crimp-and-poke assembly. The black colour is standard across the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 line for easy visual identification on the harness.","metaTitle":"TE AMPLIMITE HDP-20 205205-7 D-Sub Receptacle Housing","metaDescription":"205205-7 D-Sub receptacle housing, 15 positions, 2 rows, free-hanging.
