1418779-1

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1418779-1 is a rectangular D-Sub connector housing, specifically designed for use with high-density interconnect applications. This component serves as the insulating body for a 50-position D-Sub assembly, accommodating both male and female contact configurations depending on the mating hardware selected. It features a robust thermoplastic construction engineered to provide reliable mechanical support and electrical isolation for the inserted contacts. The housing is designed to snap into compatible metal shells or panel mounts, ensuring secure alignment and strain relief for the cable assembly. Key specifications include a 2.77mm pitch between contact positions, facilitating compact circuit board layouts while maintaining signal integrity in demanding industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides structural support and insulation for 50-position D-Sub contact arrays
• Engineered for secure integration into standard metal shell assemblies
• Constructed from durable thermoplastic materials for environmental resilience

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density signal transmission
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Data communication hardware assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific housing variant matches the required contact type (male or female) as the housing itself does not contain contacts. Confirm compatibility with the intended metal shell part number to ensure proper fit and grounding continuity. Check for any specific RoHS or REACH compliance requirements relevant to your manufacturing region before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this housing when a 50-position D-Sub form factor is required for space-constrained designs. Ensure the mating contacts are sourced separately and match the housing's terminal interface specifications. Consider the operating temperature range and chemical resistance of the housing material relative to the deployment environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the extensive family of AMP D-Sub connectors, widely recognized for their reliability in data and signal transmission. The 1418779-1 designation identifies a specific housing configuration within this lineage, distinct from other pin counts or shell styles. It complements a broad ecosystem of compatible contacts and accessories offered by TE Connectivity.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-referencing should focus on housings with identical 50-position geometry and mounting hole patterns. Verify that any substitute maintains the same contact pitch and shell compatibility to avoid mechanical interference.
