DVI-I Dual Link Receptacle — 29 Contacts, Right-Angle Panel Mount
The Molex 743201000 is a DVI-I Dual Link receptacle from the MicroCross 74320 series, carrying 29 contacts in a single shielded shell. This is the full-size DVI-I configuration — it handles both digital (TMDS) and analog (VGA) video signals through the same connector, which means a DVI-I cable or a passive adapter can drive either signal type.
29 Contacts — the DVI-I Dual Link Pinout
The 29-contact count is the DVI-I Dual Link standard: 24 digital signal contacts (three TMDS channels + clock, each with a dedicated return), 4 analog signal contacts (RGB + horizontal/vertical sync), and a single wide ground blade. The dual-link designation means the connector supports two TMDS links, enabling resolutions up to 2560x1600 at 60 Hz — the single-link variant (DVI-I Single Link) uses only 24 contacts and tops out at 1920x1200. The pinout follows the DDWG specification, so the Molex 743201000 mates with any standard DVI-I Dual Link plug.
Shielded Steel Shell and Right-Angle PCB Mount
The steel shell and full shielding are not optional for a DVI connector — the TMDS differential pairs run at multi-gigabit data rates, and the shell provides the continuous ground plane that keeps common-mode noise from radiating.
3A per Contact — Enough for DDC and Hot-Plug
Rated 3A per contact at 40VAC, the current capacity covers the DDC (+5V at 1A max) and hot-plug detect signals without margin concerns.
