Panel-Mount D-Sub with a Shielded Shell
The DE-9SF-N is a 9-position D-sub receptacle from the standard DE-9S series, built with a shielded steel shell that sets it apart from a basic unshielded DE-9S. The nickel-plated shell and gold-plated stamped contacts (copper alloy) give this connector a clear role: signal lines in equipment where EMI bleed-through matters — industrial controls, test gear, or data-comm panels where the cable shield needs a continuous path to the chassis ground. The shell carries no threaded inserts; the unthreaded flange mounts with screws through the panel, and the solder-cup termination accepts 20 AWG wire directly.
5 A per Contact — Signal Duty, Not Bus Power
The 9-position shell size (DE, E) is the smallest standard D-sub footprint, so the current per pin is limited more by the contact density and the PBT housing's thermal rise than by the contact itself.
Solder-Cup Termination and Panel Mount
Termination is solder cup — strip the 20 AWG wire, tin, and solder into the cup. No crimp tooling needed, which makes the DE-9SF-N a practical choice for low-volume builds, repair benches, or field retrofits where a crimp die set isn't on hand. The panel-mount flange uses unthreaded holes (housing/shell style), so the connector is held by screws and nuts through the panel — no jackscrew hardware integrated into the shell. Mates with the standard DE-9P-series plug, such as the DE-9PF-N, which carries the same 5 A rating and gold-plated pins.
