What the 25-position count and right-angle orientation mean for your board layout
The TE Connectivity 747461-2 is a 25-position D-sub receptacle from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series, shell size DB-3. This is the standard-density DB-25 footprint — 25 signal contacts in two rows, rated 6A per contact at 125V. The 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing gives clearance for the plug shell and cable strain relief behind the mounting flange.
RoHS compliance status — a sourcing flag
The 747461-2 is listed as RoHS non-compliant. That means the solder tails or contact plating may contain lead or other restricted substances above the threshold. For projects that require full RoHS compliance, the alternative package variants in the same series — such as the bulk-packaged 8-1437045-3 — should be reviewed for their compliance status before BOM commitment.
This receptacle mates with a standard DB-25 plug (male pin) connector of the same AMPLIMITE HD-20 series. The unthreaded housing/shell flange accepts a slide lock or screw-lock retention system — the mounting holes are sized for 4-40 threaded inserts or jackscrews on the mating plug.
