The part number **6HDD15PBY99R30X** refers to a high-density D-Sub connector, typically manufactured by companies like **Conec**. This specific component is designed for board-level integration where space is limited but high signal density is required. --- ### 1. Part Number Breakdown While manufacturer codes can vary slightly, this specific nomenclature generally breaks down as follows: | Segment | Identification | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **6** | Series Type | Often indicates the D-Sub series/shell size. | | **HDD** | Density | **High Density** (3 rows of pins instead of 2). | | **15** | Pin Count | **15 Positions** (Standard size of a 9-pin shell). | | **P** | Gender | **Plug** (Male pins). | | **BY** | Termination | Usually indicates **Right Angle** PCB mount with specific bracketry. | | **99R30X** | Revision/Plating | Specific hardware (nuts/spacers) and gold plating thickness. | --- ### 2. Technical Specifications This connector is commonly used in industrial automation, telecommunications, and computing interfaces. * **Connector Type:** D-Subminiature (High Density). * **Number of Contacts:** 15. * **Rows:** 3 Rows. * **Orientation:** Right Angle (Horizontal to the PCB). * **Current Rating:** Typically 3A per contact. * **Voltage Rating:** ~250V AC/DC. * **Housing Material:** Steel (often Tin plated) or Brass. * **Insulator:** PBT Glass-filled, UL 94 V-0 rated. --- ### 3. Application and Usage Because this is a **High-Density (HD)** part, it packs 15 pins into the physical shell size normally reserved for a standard 9-pin D-Sub (DE-9). #### Typical Interfaces: * **VGA Video:** While standard VGA is 15-pin HD, this specific industrial part is often used for serial data or sensor arrays rather than consumer video. * **PLC Modules:** Used in Programmable Logic Controllers for dense I/O connections. * **Medical Equipment:** Compact signal routing for diagnostic machinery. --- ### 4. Mounting Features The "BY" and "X" suffixes usually denote the specific mechanical mounting hardware: 1. **Threaded Inserts:** Integrated nuts (e.g., #4-40 or M3) to secure the mating cable. 2. **Board Locks:** Small metallic clips that hold the connector to the PCB during the soldering process. 3. **Grounding Indents:** Dimples on the shell to ensure EMI/RFI shielding when mated. ---
