15-Position Right-Angle D-Sub Plug for Board-Edge I/O
The 1-338169-2: It carries gold-plated phosphor bronze signal contacts rated 6A per circuit at 125V, with the current per contact governing signal-level power distribution rather than bus-level current. The steel shell with tin plating and grounding indents bleeds shield current before it reaches the signal pins, making this a fit for EMI-sensitive I/O panels in industrial controllers, test equipment, and telecom gear.
Board Locks and Grounding Indents Anchor the Fit
Two features on this 1-338169-2 address mechanical retention and EMI: board locks on the mounting flanges anchor the connector through wave solder and resist shear from cable strain, while grounding indents in the shell mate with the receptacle face to establish shield continuity before the signal pins engage. The 4-40 threaded insert on the housing accepts standard D-sub jack-screws for a vibration-resistant mate. The 0.406" (10.30mm) backset spacing sets the distance from the PCB edge to the mating face — a dimension to check against enclosure clearance and the mating receptacle's footprint.
