D-Sub Plug Housing for Field Wiring
The shell size is DE (E), the standard layout for 9-position D-Sub connectors used in RS-232 serial ports, instrumentation cabling, and industrial control links. The shell is steel with a tin-plated finish. The dielectric insert is glass-filled nylon, and the overall connector colour is black. Two rows of 9 positions give the standard DE-9 pinout arrangement.
What This Housing Needs to Complete the Connector
Because the 167292-1 is a plug housing for male contacts, it mates with a standard 9-position D-Sub receptacle housing (the female side). The unthreaded flange means the user supplies the slide-lock or screw-lock hardware — common 4-40 UNC hardware fits the DE shell size mounting holes. For a complete mated pair, order the matching receptacle housing plus 9 male crimp contacts and 9 female crimp contacts from the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 contact family. A backshell or hood with strain relief clamps around the cable jacket to protect the crimp terminations from pull forces.
