DVI-D Dual Link PCB Receptacle
The Molex 743209004 is a 24-contact DVI-D Dual Link receptacle from the MicroCross 74320 series, designed for digital video transmission at up to 40VAC. It mounts through-hole, right-angle to the PCB, with a horizontal flange for panel mounting — the standard layout for a desktop GPU or monitor input port. The shielded steel shell and board lock hold the connector solid against cable strain during assembly and in the field. The 100 mating cycle rating means this is a set-and-forget port — fine for a fixed installation or a monitor back panel, but not for a daily-disconnect test cable.
Board Fit and Mounting
The 24-contact layout follows the DVI-D Dual Link pinout: 24 pins in three rows, with the analog pins (C1–C5) omitted. This is a pure digital receptacle — it does not carry the analog VGA signals that a DVI-I connector includes. If your design needs analog compatibility, you need a DVI-I receptacle, not this DVI-D part.
