The housing uses a standard DA shell size (2 rows, 15 positions) and mounts free-hanging (in-line), with a cable-side flange threaded for 4-40 jackscrews. ## Contacts Not Included — Plan Your BOM Accordingly The note on the listing is unambiguous: Contacts Not Included. The housing accepts signal-gauge contacts (20-28 AWG typical for the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 family). Factor the contact part number and quantity into your BOM line; the housing alone is a partial build. ## Grounding Indents and Shell Construction The shell is steel with a tin plating, 200 µin (5.08 µm) thickness — a standard industrial finish that provides corrosion resistance and solderability for shield termination. The grounding indents are formed into the shell and contact the mating receptacle shell, creating a low-impedance path for shield currents before they couple into the signal contacts. This is a feature typically specified for cable assemblies in electrically noisy environments or where EMC compliance is required. ## Mates with Standard D-Sub Receptacle and Contacts This plug housing mates with any standard D-Sub receptacle of the same shell size (DA, 15 positions). The 4-40 threaded flange on the cable side accepts jackscrews for locking the mated pair. For the contact side, the housing accepts standard D-Sub male crimp contacts — the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series uses the same contact cavity geometry as the broader D-Sub standard, so contacts from TE and other major manufacturers are compatible as long as they are designed for the 15-position shell.","metaTitle":"TE 5745908-2 AMPLIMITE HDP-20 D-Sub Housing Plug, 15 Pos","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 5745908-2 AMPLIMITE HDP-20 D-Sub plug housing for male contacts, 15 positions, 2 rows, grounding indents.
