Introduction
AMPLIMITE family of
Subminiature D connectors
is the industry’s most
e
xtensive and versatile.
These subminiature D
connectors have become
the most popular type of
input/output (I/O)
connectors in use today.
Established and proven,
they are rugged, easily
used and have been widely
adopted in standards for
serial communications,
telecommunications and
local area networks (LANS).
This family of connectors
consists of:
■ Standard Subminiature D
Connectors, Cable Mount
and Board Mount
Standard AMPLIMITE
connectors come in two
series, HD-20 and HD-22,
each having five sizes
related to the size of the
shell. The shell sizes,
numbering from one to five,
are identical for each series,
while the number of posi-
tions differ. Depending on
the size of the contacts, it is
possible to have different
numbers of contact cavities
in a given shell size.
HD-20 connectors use size
20 contacts, which are
based on .040 [1.02] pin
d
iameters with contact
centerlines of .109 x .112
[2.77 x 2.85]. This size is
the more common variety.
HD-22 connectors use size
2
2 contacts, based on .030
[0.76] pin diameters on
centerlines of .090 x .078
[2.29 x 1.98] for shell sizes
1, 2 and 3; .095 x .078 [2.41
x 1.98] for shell size 4; and
.095 x .082 [2.41 x 2.08] for
shell size 5. The smaller pin
diameter of the HD-22 series
allow roughly 65% more
contacts to be held in a
given shell size. For
example, shell size three
holds 25 contacts in an
HD-20 connector and 44
contacts in an HD-22
connector.
Choosing a subminiature D
connector requires
evaluating application
requirements and deciding
which of the many options
available best suits your
needs. It is due to this
wealth of choices to satisfy
and performance and costs
requirements that makes
the subminiature D
connector family the world’s
most popular choice.

Restriction on the use of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS)
At TE, we’re ready to support your RoHS requirements. We’ve
assessed more than 1.5 million end items/components for
RoHS compliance, and issued new part numbers where any
change was required to eliminate the restricted materials. Part
numbers in this catalog are identified as:
RoHS Compliant — Part numbers in this catalog are RoHS
Compliant, unless marked otherwise. These products comply
with European Union Directive 2002/95/EC as amended 1
January 2006 that restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium,
hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE in certain electrical and
electronic products sold into the EU as of 1 July 2006.
NOTE: For purposes of this Catalog, included within the defini-
tion of RoHS Compliant are products that are clearly “Out of
Scope” of the RoHS Directive such as hand tools and other
non-electrical accessories.
NOTE: Information regarding RoHS compliance is provided
based on reasonable inquiry of our suppliers and represents our
current actual knowledge based on the information provided by
our suppliers. This information is subject to change. For latest
compliance status, refer to our website referenced at right.
