The contacts are brass with gold plating, rated 6 A per circuit at 125 V. Mounting is through-hole, right-angle — the solder tails pass through the PCB and are soldered on the opposite side. The flange uses 4-40 threaded inserts for mating with the receptacle's jackscrews. Without them, the connector can shift during wave solder and the pins may not align with the holes. For a right-angle D-Sub, the board lock also resists the lever force from the cable strain during unmating. The grounding indents on the shell are a standard feature on AMPLIMITE HD-20 connectors — they engage with the mating receptacle's dimples to create a continuous shield path. The gold-plated contacts accept the standard AMPLIMITE HD-20 crimp terminals if you are building a cable assembly, but this specific variant is a solder-terminated plug — the pins are soldered directly to the PCB or to a wire. For a field-replaceable cable end, use the crimp-style plug variant with the same 9-position shell layout.","metaTitle":"TE 6-747840-9 AMPLIMITE HD-20 D-Sub Plug, 9-Pos R/A","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 6-747840-9 D-Sub plug, 9 positions, right-angle through-hole, gold contacts, board lock, ground strap.
