The DB-25 Receptacle That Stays Put on the Board
The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 2301841-2 is a 25-position D-Sub receptacle with female sockets, arranged in two rows in the standard DB-25 shell size (layout 3, DB, B).
Board Lock and Screwlock — Two Retention Details That Matter
On the mating face, the flange carries a female screwlock (4-40) on the mating side, meaning the jack-screws are threaded into the receptacle itself rather than mounted on the PCB. This is the key difference from the sibling 2301841-1, which has the screwlock on the board side — the 2301841-2 is the right choice when the mating plug needs to be secured from the panel side, not the board side. The steel shell with tin-nickel plating provides EMI shielding and mates with standard DB-25 hoods.
