20-Position Shielded DisplayPort Receptacle for Edge-Mount PCB Integration
The Molex 472720001 is a 20-contact DisplayPort receptacle from the 47272 series, designed for surface-mount right-angle PCB mounting. It accepts a standard DisplayPort plug and routes the video signal horizontally off the board edge. The shielded shell — steel and stainless — contains the high-speed differential pairs within the interface, keeping radiated emissions under control in a system enclosure. Gold-plated contacts handle 0.5A per circuit at 40VAC, which is the signal-level current typical for DisplayPort lanes — not a power-delivery connector. The 10,000-cycle mating life is well above the 5,000-cycle norm for consumer-grade video ports, so this receptacle suits equipment that sees frequent cable swaps: test fixtures, panel-mount displays on industrial gear, or rack-mount video distribution units.
