Vertical D-Sub, 15 Positions, Board Lock
The Molex 09662556511 is a 15-position D-sub receptacle with female sockets, in the standard DA-15 (A) shell size. It mates with the matching DA-15 male plug, such as the 09652696711. The vertical through-hole orientation and board lock features anchor it to the PCB for wave solder assembly, with the M3 threaded flange providing additional panel-mount security.
What the 6.5 A Rating Means for the Fit
6.5 A per contact is the maximum continuous current for this stamped signal contact at 25°C ambient. For a typical signal or low-power application (e.g., 1–3 A per line), this rating provides generous headroom.
Board Lock and Flange — Mechanical Retention
The M3 threaded flange on the housing/ shell allows a secondary panel-mount or bracket-mount for applications where the cable strain exceeds the solder joint's capacity. Together, these features suit the connector for industrial control panels, test fixtures, and any assembly where the D-sub sees frequent mating or cable movement.
How It Compares — 09662566612 and 09652696711
The 09662566612 is the right-angle version of this same 15-position DA-15 receptacle, with 4-40 threaded inserts instead of M3. The 09652696711 is the male plug counterpart — same 15 positions, same 6.5 A rating, same M3 flange — so if you need the mating half, that's the one.
