The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 1658655-1 is a 9-position D-Sub plug housing designed to accept male crimp contacts. This is the cable-side half of a standard DE-9 connector pair — the shell size 1 (DE, E) layout mates with any standard 9-position D-Sub receptacle. The housing is shielded, with grounding indents on the shell and a backshell feature, making it suited for cable assemblies that need EMI containment. The black glass-filled nylon insulator carries two rows of signal contacts.
The Contacts-Not-Included Trap
The spec explicitly states Contacts Not Included. Factor the terminal order into your procurement batch; the housing and contacts are typically quoted together on an RFQ.
Shielded Shell and Locking Hardware
The steel shell carries a tin plating with a 200µin (5.08µm) finish — heavy enough for repeated mating in industrial or test-equipment environments. The cable-side flange uses a 4-40 threaded insert, the standard D-sub jack-screw pattern. If your application needs a full Faraday cage around the cable pair, this housing plus a shielded backshell and a metal-shell receptacle completes the enclosure.
