D-Sub connector Harting 09 66 251 6512, 15-pin solder, 180° orientation

Harting D-Sub connector 15-pin solder, 180° orientation is a through-hole D-Sub interface designed for reliable electrical connections in control and industrial equipment. The connector provides 15 solder contacts in the classic D-Sub shell, suitable for panel or cable assemblies where a standard 15-pin D-Sub interface is required. Its 180° orientation positions the solder pins for mounting and routing in applications with constrained space behind the PCB or panel.

Advantages

This 15-pin D-Sub solder connector offers stable mechanical retention and secure soldered electrical contacts for signal and low-power connections. The 180° pin orientation simplifies routing on PCBs or inside enclosures and improves accessibility during assembly. The robust D-Sub metal shell ensures shielding and mechanical protection in industrial environments, while the through-hole solder contacts create durable joints that withstand vibration and temperature variations common in control and equipment wiring.

Suitable for

• Control cabinets and industrial automation equipment
• Panel-mounted interfaces and instrument front panels
• Cable-to-board assemblies requiring a standard 15-pin D-Sub
• Signal distribution and serial communication connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub 15-pin, solder (through-hole) contacts
• Orientation: 180° pin orientation for rear PCB or panel mounting
• Contact format: 15 contacts suitable for signal and low-power wiring
• Shell: Standard D-Sub metal hood providing mechanical protection and basic shielding
• Mounting style: Through-hole for soldering to PCB or assembly into panel with soldered wires

How to use

Prepare the PCB or panel with the matching drill and footprint for the through-hole solder pins, ensuring correct alignment for the 180° orientation. Place the connector so the metal shell seats flush with the panel or PCB surface, then solder each contact according to standard through-hole soldering practices. After soldering, inspect joints for full wetting and mechanical strength. If used in panel assemblies, secure the connector housing with the appropriate mounting hardware and verify mating compatibility with the corresponding 15-pin D-Sub plug.

Recommendations

Use flux-compatible solder and a temperature-controlled soldering iron for consistent joints. Avoid excessive mechanical strain on soldered leads by using strain relief on cables and ensure proper shielding continuity if EMI protection is required.
