High-Density D-Sub for Signal-Rich Boards
The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE.050 III 5787395-5 is a 50-position D-type receptacle with female sockets arranged in two rows at a 0.050 pitch x 0.100 row-to-row spacing — a compact footprint that packs more signals into the same panel cutout as a standard-density D-sub.
With 50 circuits in two rows, this receptacle matches a BOM line requiring that exact position count. The backset spacing of 0.146 inches (3.71 mm) sets the distance from the board edge to the connector face, which affects enclosure clearance for the mating plug and cable strain relief.
Mating and Termination Checks
This receptacle mates with a standard AMPLIMITE.050 III plug (male pin) connector — the D-type shell, 4-40 threaded inserts, and latchblocks are the mechanical interface. Termination is solder to through-hole — no press-fit or IDC option. The shield connects through the shell to the board ground plane via the solder tails; the steel shell with nickel plating provides the EMI path.
