The part number **6HDD15PBY99R10X** refers to a specific High-Density D-Sub connector manufactured by **Conec**. It is widely used in industrial, telecommunications, and computing equipment for space-saving signal connections. --- ## Technical Specifications Breakdown The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the connector's construction and physical properties: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series Type** | High-Density D-Sub (HDD) | | **Number of Positions** | 15 Pins | | **Gender** | Male (Plug / P) | | **Termination Style** | Solder Cup (for wire attachment) | | **Mounting Hardware** | Threaded Insert / Jackscrew compatible | | **Plating** | Standard Gold Flash over Nickel | | **Housing Material** | Steel, Tin Plated | --- ## Physical and Electrical Characteristics ### 1. Construction * **Insulator:** Glass-filled thermoplastic (UL 94 V-0 rated), usually black. * **Contacts:** Copper alloy with precision machining for high reliability. * **Shell:** Steel construction provides EMI/RFI shielding when used with a metal backshell. ### 2. Electrical Ratings * **Current Rating:** Typically 3 Amperes per contact. * **Voltage Rating:** 250V AC/DC. * **Contact Resistance:** $\le$ 15 m$\Omega$. * **Insulation Resistance:** $\ge$ 5000 M$\Omega$. ### 3. Mechanical Properties * **High Density:** It uses the same shell size as a standard 9-pin D-Sub but accommodates 15 pins by using three rows instead of two. * **Mating Cycles:** Rated for approximately 50 to 100 cycles (standard class). * **Temperature Range:** $-55°C$ to $+125°C$. --- ## Common Applications * **VGA Interfaces:** Though standard VGA is 15-pin, high-density versions are the foundation for analog video connections. * **Industrial Automation:** Used in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) communication ports. * **Medical Equipment:** Reliable signal transmission in diagnostic tools. * **Aerospace & Defense:** Used in non-critical avionics monitoring where space is a premium. --- ## Installation Note Since this is a **Solder Cup** version, it requires manual soldering of wires to the pins. It is recommended to use heat-shrink tubing on each individual wire to prevent short-circuiting between the densely packed pins.
