The 250V voltage rating and the gold flash contacts (brass with gold flash plating) suit this plug for signal-level interconnects in industrial control, instrumentation, and data communication harnesses where the D-Sub form factor is the standard. The current rating is wire-gauge dependent — the crimp barrel and contact geometry determine what the circuit can carry, not a fixed per-contact limit. The shell has unthreaded flange holes, meaning the cable-side backshell or slide-lock hardware provides the retention, not integral jackscrews. ## Sourcing Reality — Last Buy, Not Dead If your BOM requires a long-term production commitment, the closest pin-compatible alternative would be a standard DE-9 crimp D-Sub plug from the same AMPLIMITE HDP-20 family — confirm the shell size and pin layout match before substituting. For a last-time buy, secure enough quantity to cover your remaining production runs. ## What the Gold Flash Means for Your Harness The gold flash contacts (flash thickness, not a heavy 15-30 µ\" gold plate) are suited for moderate mating cycle counts — think a few hundred matings, not the thousands a heavy-gold D-Sub would handle. In a field-service harness that gets disconnected and reconnected periodically, gold flash resists corrosion better than tin, but it will wear through faster than a thicker gold plate.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 749808-8, AMPLIMITE HDP-20 D-Sub Plug, 9-Pin","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 749808-8 AMPLIMITE HDP-20 D-Sub plug, 9 positions, male pins, crimp termination, gold flash contacts, 250V.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Last Buy","categoryPath":["D-Sub & D-Shaped Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Black","Series":"AMPLIMITE HDP-20","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Grounding Indents","Wire Gauge":"-","Termination":"Crimp","Contact Form":"-","Contact Type":"Signal","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Plug, Male Pins","Contact Finish":"Gold","Flange Feature":"Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Last Time Buy","Voltage Rating":"250V","Backset Spacing":"-","Connector Style":"D-Sub","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"749808","Dielectric Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"9","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Shell Material, Finish":"Steel, Tin Plated","Contact Finish Thickness":"Flash","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Shell Size, Connector Layout":"1 (DE, E)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$14.5400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/d1b1c150422c9dd180c851bd8012f37b.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the TE Connectivity 749808-8?","answer":"As a Last Buy part, we confirm availability and current pricing at the time of your quote — submit an RFQ and we will source the quantity you need from the remaining channel stock."},{"question":"What is the recommended replacement for 749808-8 if discontinued?","answer":"The closest pin-compatible alternative is a standard DE-9 crimp D-Sub plug from the same AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series — confirm the shell size (DE, E) and pin layout match before substituting.
