The TE Connectivity 5745968-7 is a standard-density DB-25 D-sub plug from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series, carrying 25 signal contacts in two rows. The 6 A per-contact rating with gold flash plating suits signal-level duty and occasional power switching, while the steel shell with tin plating provides basic EMI containment.
Termination and Mating — Vertical Solder, DB-25 Shell
Threaded inserts (4-40 thread) accept standard D-sub jackscrews for positive locking against vibration. The mating connector is a standard D-sub receptacle (female) with the same shell size 3 (DB, B) layout.
What the Gold Flash Plating Means for Duty
The contact finish is gold flash — a thin gold layer over the brass base material. Flash plating provides good corrosion resistance and low contact resistance at initial mate.
