9-Position D-Sub Receptacle, Through-Hole, DE-9 Layout
The Molex 1731092626 is a 9-position D-Sub receptacle from the FCT 173109 series, using the standard DE-9 (E) shell size. It is a female connector with machined signal contacts arranged in two rows, terminated via through-hole solder posts to the PCB. Typical applications include industrial control interfaces, serial communication ports, and test equipment where a reliable, shielded D-Sub connection is required.
5A per Contact — Signal-Density Current Capacity
Each contact is rated 5A, which is typical for standard-density D-Sub connectors. This current rating supports signal-level loads and moderate power distribution; for higher-current applications, derating above 25°C ambient is recommended per the product drawing.
Through-Hole Termination and Mounting
Termination is through-hole solder, the standard method for D-Sub connectors that require mechanical strength and reliable solder joints. The housing includes an unthreaded flange feature for panel mounting or additional board retention via standoffs.
