It carries 6A per contact at 125V, with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts (30.0µin) that handle repeated mating cycles in field-serviceable equipment. The shell size is DE (E), the standard footprint for 9-pin D-sub layouts.
At 9 positions in a standard-density layout, the 125V rating provides enough creepage for control voltages up to 120VAC without requiring a high-voltage shell. The gold plating thickness at 30.0µin is the key differentiator: it gives corrosion resistance and a rated mating cycle life well beyond tin-plated equivalents, which matters if the connector sees periodic disconnection in a humid or lightly corrosive environment.
Board Lock and Mounting Details
This reduces shear stress on the signal pins from cable strain or mating forces. The through-hole solder termination and vertical orientation mean the receptacle sits perpendicular to the board, with the flange holes accepting 4-40 jackscrews for secure mating with the plug half.
