20-Pin DisplayPort Receptacle for High-Speed Video Interconnects
The Molex 472720024 is a 20-contact DisplayPort receptacle from the 47272 series, designed as the board-mount side of a standard DisplayPort cable interconnect. It carries the full 20-pin complement required for DisplayPort 1.4 and earlier revisions, supporting multi-lane video, audio, and auxiliary data channels over a single shielded connector. The shielded steel shell provides the EMI containment needed to pass FCC/CE radiated emissions limits at multi-gigabit data rates. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain contact resistance over the full cycle life.
The 0.5 A per-contact current rating covers all signal pins in the DisplayPort interface, including the AUX channel and HPD line. The 40 VAC voltage rating is standard for the interface. The 20-contact count matches the full DisplayPort pinout, which means it can carry all four main lanes plus the auxiliary channel and configuration lines. A 20-position receptacle is required for any DisplayPort implementation that supports multi-stream transport (MST) or higher resolutions beyond 1080p. The cover is a dust cap that protects the contacts when unmated — it ships attached and should be retained for field use.
The base product number 047272 covers the full series; this specific variant is the right-angle SMT shielded receptacle with the latch lock and board guide.
