DE-9 Plug with Board Locks and Grounding Indents
The TE Connectivity 1-338309-2 is a 9-position D-Sub plug from the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series, arranged in 2 rows on the standard DE-9 shell size. It terminates via solder cups to a through-hole PCB, with the vertical orientation keeping the cable exit perpendicular to the board.
Board Lock and Grounding Indents
Two board locks on the shell anchor the connector during wave solder and resist shear force from cable strain. The grounding indents in the steel shell mate with the receptacle face to bleed shield current before it reaches the signal pins — a detail that matters for EMC compliance in industrial or telecom enclosures.
The shell uses 4-40 threaded inserts for mating with standard D-Sub hardware.
