Product details

15-Position D-Sub IDC Receptacle, AMPLIMITE HDF-20

The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDF-20 1658609-3 is a 15-position D-sub receptacle with IDC termination, designed for mass-termination to 26-28 AWG ribbon cable. It's a free-hanging (in-line) female connector with a DA (A) shell size, the standard 15-pin D-sub footprint.

IDC Termination — Ribbon Cable, No Crimp Tool

This receptacle terminates via IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection) to ribbon cable, meaning the contacts pierce the insulation in one press operation — no individual wire stripping or crimping. The 26-28 AWG stranded or solid wire range is tight, typical for standard 0.050" pitch ribbon cable. The feed-through feature lets the cable pass straight through the back of the connector, which simplifies daisy-chaining or panel routing where the cable exits the rear of the shell.

Mating Half and Shell Hardware

The mating connector is a standard 15-position D-sub plug (male pin) with the same DA shell layout. The flange feature on this receptacle includes threaded 4-40 inserts for the housing/shell — it accepts the mating plug's 4-40 jackscrews or screw-lock hardware. The 2-row, 15-position layout is the classic DB-15 (DA) footprint, so any standard 15-pin D-sub plug with the same shell size and 4-40 hardware spacing will mate. The gold-on-gold contact interface (30 µ" on both sides if the plug is similarly plated) gives reliable signal contact over many mating cycles.
