TE Connectivity 205860-1 D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 205860-1 is a 37-position D-Sub receptacle connector with female sockets, configured for right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series and maintains active product status. The connector features a steel shell with yellow chromate plated zinc finish, gold-flashed contacts, and is rated for 6A at 125V across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector's critical functional specifications, including position count, mounting configuration, termination method, and environmental ratings.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 205860-1 are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is structured as follows:

Direct Manufacturer Substitutes maintain identical specifications across connector style, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, electrical ratings, environmental specifications, and physical dimensions. These parts are interchangeable at the functional level and share the same AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series designation.

The key parameters that determine substitutability are:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Position count (37 positions, 2 rows)
• Shell size and layout (4 DC, C)
• Mounting method (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Current and voltage ratings (6A, 125V)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Yellow Chromate Plated Zinc)
• Contact finish (Gold, Flash)
• Flange configuration (Mating Side, Standard Screws 4-40)
• Dielectric material (Polyamide PA, Nylon, Glass Filled)
• Backset spacing (0.545" / 13.84mm)

Parameter Comparison
