The TE Connectivity 5747238-6 is a 25-position D-Sub plug from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series, configured with male pins in a dual-row layout. The steel shell carries a tin plate, with grounding indents and an integral ground strap, making this plug suited for shielded signal paths in equipment that already has an enclosure-level ground. Gold contact finish on brass pins pairs with a 6A per-contact rating, typical for signal-level D-Sub duty where repeated mating cycles matter more than bulk current.
Mounting and Termination Detail
The mating-side flange carries a female screwlock with 4-40 thread — the standard D-Sub locking interface that secures the plug to its receptacle. The through-hole termination requires drilled and plated holes in the board; the right-angle form factor means the connector overhangs the board edge, so the enclosure cutout must account for the shell and the screwlock hardware.
Ratings and Operating Envelope
The 6A current rating is per-contact at nominal conditions — derate above 105°C per the manufacturer's curve.
