What This High-Density D-Sub Plug Does in Your Assembly
The HARTING 09561617700 is a 15-position high-density D-sub plug with male pins, built for signal-level board-to-cable interconnects where pin count per shell size matters more than current per contact. The DE-size shell (layout 1) crams 15 contacts into the same footprint a standard D-sub would give you 9, so you route more signals through the same panel cutout or backplane slot. Rated 2 A per contact, it's a signal-density part — think RS-232/422 lines, parallel I/O, or instrumentation buses — not a power rail.
Through-Hole Mount and Solder Termination
Vertical through-hole mount with solder termination — the pins sit perpendicular to the PCB, so the connector stands upright on the board edge. The footprint matches the standard high-density D-sub layout for shell size DE, so any existing board pattern for a 15-pin HD D-sub accepts this part without a respin.
Mating Half and Shell Compatibility
If you are rebuilding a cable loom, a metal backshell that clamps the cable braid to the shell is the right call — keeps the shield continuous and stops the cable from fraying at the strain relief.
The 09561515513 is the receptacle half for this plug — same 15 positions, same 3-row high-density DE layout, same 2 A rating, same through-hole solder termination. The difference is the contact gender (female sockets vs male pins) and the flange feature: the receptacle carries a mating-side female screwlock (4-40), while this plug has an unthreaded housing/shell flange. If your BOM already specifies the 09561515513 receptacle, this plug is the direct mate — no adapter, no shell-size mismatch.
