The TE Connectivity 829261-8 is a female jackscrew socket from the AMPLIMITE HD series. This is a hardware accessory, not a connector — it provides the threaded locking mechanism that secures a female AMPLIMITE HD D-sub connector to its mating male half. The jackscrew socket threads onto the male connector's screw, pulling the pair together for a vibration-resistant mate in industrial, instrumentation, and datacom equipment where D-subs are used.
Thread Size and Engagement Depth
The 829261-8 carries both an M3 socket and a 4-40 screw thread — two common D-sub jacking thread forms in one part. The threaded portion below the head measures 0.311" (7.91 mm), which sets the panel or PCB thickness range this jackscrew can engage through. That 7.91 mm thread length accommodates standard D-sub panel-mount flanges and board-to-board stack-ups without bottoming out.
Compatibility and Use
This jackscrew socket is specified for use with AMPLIMITE Series HD connectors. The female socket design mounts on the receptacle side of the D-sub pair.
