Wiring a DB-25 Panel Port
The TE Connectivity 745968-2 is a 25-position D-Sub plug from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series, configured as a male pin connector in a DB-25 shell size. It terminates via solder cups to the through-hole PCB pins, with the unthreaded housing flange accepting standard D-sub backshells or hoods for cable strain relief. Gold flash on the brass contacts handles routine mating cycles in signal-level applications, while the steel shell with tin plating and grounding indents provides a low-impedance path to bleed shield currents before they reach the signal pins.
