What This DVI-D Dual-Link Receptacle Is
The Molex 743204000 is a DVI-D dual-link receptacle from the MicroCross 74320 series — the standard digital-only video port you find on graphics cards and monitors, but in a right-angle PCB-mount form with a panel flange. It carries 24 contacts, which is the full dual-link complement: all 18 digital pins plus the extra 6 for the second TMDS link, giving you the bandwidth for resolutions above 1920x1200 at 60 Hz. The steel shell is fully shielded, and the contacts are gold-plated for corrosion resistance across repeated mates. This is a receptacle — the female side that lives on the board or panel — and it mates with any standard DVI-D dual-link plug cable.
The 24-contact count is the giveaway: this is a dual-link DVI-D, not single-link. Single-link DVI-D uses 18 contacts and tops out at 1920x1200; dual-link adds the extra six for higher pixel clocks. The shielded shell and gold contacts support signal integrity. 100 mating cycles is typical for a panel-mount video port. Mounting is through-hole solder to the PCB, with a horizontal flange that bolts to the panel. The right-angle pins mean the connector body sits flat on the board and the cable exits sideways — plan your board keep-out zone accordingly. The insulation is natural-colour UL94 V-0 rated, so it's fine inside any equipment that needs a flame-rated enclosure.
Compatibility and Sourcing
This receptacle is compatible with any standard DVI-D dual-link plug cable. It will not accept a DVI-I or DVI-A plug.
