The shell is steel with a tin-nickel finish, and the housing uses a glass-filled PBT dielectric rated UL94 V-0. The flange carries female screwlocks (4-40) on the mating side, which means the plug secures directly to the receptacle with standard D-sub hardware — no adapter needed. ## Board Lock and Grounding Indents — What They Do in Assembly During wave soldering, they hold the connector square to the board — without them, the shell can tilt as the solder joints cool, pulling the pin tips out of alignment with the receptacle. For a 9-position plug this is less critical than on a 25-position, but it still saves rework on a dense board. Grounding indents on the shell face contact the receptacle shell before the signal pins mate. This bleeds electrostatic discharge and shield currents to ground before they reach the contacts — useful in environments with frequent plug/unplug cycles or nearby switching gear.","metaTitle":"TE 2301826-2 AMPLIMITE HD-20 D-Sub Plug, 9 Pos, 1.5A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2301826-2 AMPLIMITE HD-20 D-Sub plug, 9-position male pins, 15.0µin gold contacts, 1.5A, 250V, board lock, grounding indents.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"AMPLIMITE HD-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 HD-20","Package":"Tray","Features":"Board Lock, Grounding Indents","Wire Gauge":"-","Termination":"Solder","Contact Form":"-","Contact Type":"Signal","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Plug, Male Pins","Contact Finish":"Gold","Flange Feature":"Mating Side, Female Screwlock (4-40)","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250V","Backset Spacing":"-","Connector Style":"D-Sub","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"2301826","Dielectric Material":"Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"9","Current Rating (Amps)":"1.5A","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Shell Material, Finish":"Steel, Tin-Nickel Plated","Contact Finish Thickness":"15.0µin (0.38µm)","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Shell Size, Connector Layout":"1 (DE, E)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.2800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.28000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.03700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.02640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":90,"price":"$2.00567","currency":"USD"},{"qty":270,"price":"$1.82993","currency":"USD"},{"qty":990,"price":"$1.66451","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2430,"price":"$1.48875","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pinout of the TE 2301826-2?","answer":"The 2301826-2 is a standard D-Sub 9-position plug (DE-9) with male pins arranged in two rows.
