The TE 215711-1 is a D-Sub plug housing from the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series. It accepts male crimp contacts and mates with a standard DE-9 receptacle housing. The shell size 1 (DE, E) layout and 2-row, 9-position arrangement match the classic DB-9 pinout used across serial, industrial, and instrumentation cabling.
Does It Include Contacts?
No — the housing ships empty. The note on this part is plain: Contacts Not Included. The shell is steel with a tin-plated finish, and the dielectric is glass-filled nylon (PA). Colour is black.
Mates with any standard DE-9 D-Sub receptacle housing or backshell assembly that accepts female crimp contacts. The flange features unthreaded holes — you'll need a separate backshell or jack-screw kit for cable strain relief and retention. Termination is crimp-style: select a male pin contact rated for your wire gauge (typically 20-24 AWG for signal duty), crimp, and insert until the retention tang locks into the housing cavity.
