It carries gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated 6A per circuit, with a shell size DE (E) layout that mates with the standard 9-position D-sub plug.
Board Lock and Mounting Detail
The board lock feature consists of metal retention pins that snap into the PCB holes and hold the receptacle in place during wave or hand soldering. Once soldered, they add mechanical resistance to the pull force from the mating plug — useful in applications where the connector lives near a panel edge or sees periodic disconnect.
Temperature Range and Operating Environment
The steel shell with tin plating provides EMI shielding when mated with a matching D-sub plug that has grounding indents. Gold on the contacts handles repeated mating cycles better than tin — expect several hundred mates before wear-through, which matters for field-serviceable panels.
