It carries female sockets on a 2-row layout in a DA (A) shell size, with a 0.406" (10.30 mm) backset spacing that sets the board-edge clearance for the mating plug. Typical applications for this connector include serial and parallel port interfaces on industrial controllers, test instrumentation backplanes, and any panel-mount I/O where a right-angle board exit saves enclosure depth. The steel shell with tin plating provides basic EMI shielding when mated to a conductive backshell on the cable side.
Mating Half and Pinout — What You Need to Match
This receptacle mates with a 15-position male D-Sub plug having the same shell size (DA, A layout). For right-angle mounting, the footprint must accommodate the 0.406" backset spacing — the distance from the PCB edge to the mounting flange face. The board locks require plated through-holes at the flange ends, typically 0.125" diameter, to anchor the shell. The solder tails for the 15 contacts follow a standard 0.108" row spacing with 0.112" pitch within each row.
