Right-Angle D-Sub for Board-Edge I/O
The TE Connectivity 5788794-1 is a 25-position right-angle D-sub plug from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series, designed for through-hole soldering onto a PCB. Gold-plated brass contacts handle signal-level currents up to 6 A per circuit, and the steel shell with tin plating provides EMI shielding and mates with standard DB-25 receptacles via the 4-40 threaded flange.
Board Locks and Grounding Indents for Reliable Assembly
Two features on this connector address mechanical and electrical reliability in one shot.
What the 6 A Rating Means in Practice
The 6 A per-contact rating is standard for a standard-density D-sub with gold-plated contacts. At this current level the connector is suited for signal and low-power circuits — think RS-232 lines, digital I/O, encoder signals, or control voltages under 125 V.
