68-Position Right-Angle D-Sub with Full Shielding
The TE Connectivity 5787190-7 is a 68-position D-sub receptacle from the AMPLIMITE.050 III series, designed for board-edge I/O where signal density and EMI control both matter. It mounts through-hole, right-angle to the PCB, with a steel nickel-plated shell and a shielded thermoplastic housing rated UL94 V-0. The 0.050-inch pitch and 0.100-inch row-to-row spacing pack 68 signal contacts into a D-shell footprint that fits standard high-density D-sub cutouts. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated 1 A per circuit at 30 V handle signal-level duty — think parallel I/O, data buses, or control lines where the 68-position count matches a wide parallel interface.
The 0.146-inch (3.71 mm) backset spacing sets the distance from the PCB to the mounting flange — a dimension that matters when aligning the shell to a panel cutout or mating backshell. The flange includes housing/shell mounting holes for 2-56 screws plus integral latchblocks and rails for positive retention with the mating plug.
Mating and Shielding
This receptacle mates with a standard AMPLIMITE.050 III shielded plug (male D-sub with pins) of the same 68-position layout and shell size. The latchblocks and rails on the flange engage with the mating plug's hardware for vibration-resistant connection.
