9-Position D-Sub Receptacle with IDC Termination
The shell size is DE (E), the standard 9-position D-sub footprint, and the housing is free-hanging (in-line) with unthreaded flange holes for panel-mount screws.
Wire Gauge and Current Derating
The 1-745491-9 terminates 20-22 AWG discrete wire via IDC contacts. The current rating is not a single fixed value — it varies by wire gauge, as the smaller 22 AWG conductor has higher resistance and will heat more under load than 20 AWG. For a harness designer, this means the actual current per contact depends on the wire size selected; the 250V voltage rating is consistent across the range.
The free-hanging design allows the connector to be used as a cable-end receptacle without a backshell, though a backshell kit can be added for strain relief and shielding termination if the application requires it.
