Board-Mount D-Sub for Panel I/O
The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 2-338314-2 is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle in the standard DA (A) shell size. It mounts vertically through the PCB with solder tails and carries a pair of M3 threaded inserts in the flange for panel attachment. The black glass-filled polyester housing meets UL94 V-0 flame rating, and the steel shell is tin-plated for EMI continuity.
Contact and Current Handling
Each of the 15 phosphor bronze contacts carries a gold finish — rated 6A per contact. The gold plating handles repeated mating cycles well, so this connector suits field-serviceable I/O ports where the cable end is disconnected occasionally.
This receptacle mates with any standard AMPLIMITE HDP-20 DB-15 (DA-size) plug that has the same 2-row layout and M3 threaded inserts. The through-hole solder termination is the standard method — the board-lock feature adds mechanical retention during assembly, preventing the connector from lifting off the board during wave solder. The M3 flange accepts jack-screws or screw-lock hardware for panel-mount applications.
There is no official EOL notice or successor part on record. No second-source cross-reference is documented, so the original TE part number is the one to specify on the BOM.
