Frequently Asked Questions
What does CH=1.0mm signify in this Slim D-Sub 15-pin female connector?
CH=1.0mm indicates a 1.00mm Center Height measured from the PCB mounting surface to the horizontal centerline of the D-Sub mating interface. This mid-mount (sinking mount) architecture recesses the connector body into a PCB cutout, significantly reducing the above-board profile height for ultra-thin enclosures.
What are the PCB footprint and cutout layout requirements for integration?
The PCB layout requires a 20.10±0.02mm mounting hole pitch, 15 staggered signal through-holes with a 0.70±0.06mm diameter (arranged at 1.145mm and 2.29mm horizontal offsets), and a precision board edge cutout to accommodate the recessed shell. The connector includes a pre-assembled vacuum pick-and-place cap for automated SMT/mixed-technology placement.
How do the housing and contact materials support lead-free reflow and signal integrity?
The insulator is molded from UL 94V-0 rated Liquid Crystal Polymer reinforced with 30% glass fiber (LCP+30% GF), providing superior dimensional stability during high-temperature reflow soldering. Selective gold-plated brass contacts maintain a maximum contact resistance of 20 milliohms, while tin-finished brass riveted inserts with #4-40 threads ensure corrosion-resistant mechanical retention.
What are the electrical and thermal ratings for industrial operating environments?
This 15-position slim D-Sub receptacle is rated for 1.0A DC current and 300V DC voltage, with a minimum insulation resistance of 1000 megaohms and a dielectric withstanding voltage of 1000V AC minimum. It is engineered to operate continuously across an industrial temperature range of -55°C to +85°C (-55°C to +105°C storage).
Overview and Application Notes
This 15-pin High-Density (HD15) Slim D-Sub female receptacle features a space-saving right-angle mid-mount (sinking mount) configuration with a 1.0mm center height (CH=1.0mm). Engineered for ultra-thin industrial motherboards, embedded single-board computers (SBCs), and compact graphic display interfaces, it significantly reduces the overall above-board profile while maintaining full mechanical compatibility with standard 3-row 15-pin D-Sub (VGA) cable plugs. Supplied with a pre-assembled pick-and-place cap, it is fully optimized for high-speed automated PCB assembly lines.
Key Features
- Ultra-Low Profile Architecture: Mid-mount sinking design with a 1.0mm center height (CH=1.0mm) and a slim 11.80mm / 14.00mm footprint depth to maximize enclosure space utilization.
- High-Temperature Reflow Ready: Insulator molded from UL 94V-0 rated LCP reinforced with 30% glass fiber (LCP+30% GF), withstanding lead-free reflow soldering profiles without thermal warping.
- Reliable Signal & Mechanical Retention: Precision brass contacts with selective gold plating ensure low contact resistance (20 mΩ Max.), paired with pre-assembled #4-40 threaded tin-plated brass riveted inserts for secure cable mating.
- Industrial-Grade Electrical & Thermal Ratings: Rated at 1.0A DC and 300V DC with 1000V AC dielectric withstanding voltage, operating reliably across an extended temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.
Engineering Specifications & PCB Integration
Designed for precision PCB cutout integration, this 15-position slim D-Sub receptacle utilizes a 3-row staggered pin layout with a 1.145mm / 2.29mm horizontal pitch and a 20.10±0.02mm mounting hole distance. The PCB footprint requires 15 signal through-holes (0.70±0.06mm diameter) alongside dual board-lock mounting slots for robust mechanical anchoring during plug insertion and extraction. The steel shielding shell (nickel or tin finished) grounds directly to the chassis trace to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-frequency analog and control signal transmission.
