Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reverse Mid-Mount Slim D-Sub connector with CL=0.80mm?
A Reverse Mid-Mount (Reverse Sinking Mount) Slim D-Sub connector features an inverted D-shell polarization compared to standard right-angle receptacles, allowing mating cables to plug in upside-down relative to the PCB surface. The CL=0.80mm specification defines a 0.80mm centerline height from the PCB surface to the horizontal center axis of the connector, recessing the body into a board cutout for ultra-low profile enclosures.
What is the plating specification for the contacts, shell, and board locks?
The copper alloy contacts feature gold flash plating on the mating area and tin plating on the solder tails over a 30 microinch minimum nickel underplate. Both the low-carbon steel shielding shell and copper alloy mounting nuts are finished with 80 microinch minimum nickel plating all over for corrosion resistance and EMI shielding, while the copper alloy board locks use a 30 microinch minimum nickel underplate with a tin outer finish for optimal solderability.
What PCB layout tolerance is required for mounting this 15-pin receptacle?
The engineering drawing specifies a recommended PCB layout tolerance of ±0.05mm for the signal pin through-holes, board lock mounting slots, and recessed PCB cutout edge to ensure accurate alignment and coplanarity during assembly.
Overview and Application Notes
This 15-pin High-Density (HD15) Slim D-Sub female receptacle features a space-saving reverse right-angle mid-mount (reverse sinking mount) configuration with a 0.80mm center line height (CL=0.80mm). Designed with a gray UL 94V-0 thermoplastic insulator and a full nickel-plated low-carbon steel shield, it enables inverted mating orientation for ultra-thin motherboards, compact industrial PCs (IPCs), and embedded display interfaces where PCB component layout dictates a reverse D-Sub footprint.
Key Features
- Ultra-Low Profile Reverse Sinking Design: Engineered with a 0.80mm centerline height (CL=0.80mm) in a reverse mid-mount orientation, dropping the connector profile into the PCB cutout to minimize above-board clearance.
- Multi-Layer Contact & Terminal Plating: Precision copper alloy contacts plated with gold flash on the mating area and tin on the solder tails over a 30u” minimum nickel underplate for dependable signal continuity and solderability.
- Heavy-Duty EMI Shielding & Retention: Low-carbon steel shell and pre-assembled copper alloy hex nuts finished with 80u” minimum nickel plating all over, paired with tin-plated copper alloy board locks for robust mechanical grounding and PCB retention.
- Flame-Retardant & RoHS Compliant: Molded from gray UL 94V-0 rated high-temperature thermoplastic, fully compliant with RoHS environmental directives for automated PCB assembly.
Engineering Specifications & PCB Integration
Built for inverted board-edge cutout layouts, this 15-position slim D-Sub female connector mounts directly into a recessed PCB slot with a recommended PCB layout tolerance of ±0.05mm. Dual copper alloy board locks (30u” min. nickel underplate with tin finish) provide secure through-hole mechanical anchoring during wave or selective soldering, preventing solder joint stress during repeated VGA / HD15 cable plug mating and unmating cycles.
