1488146-2

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1488146-2 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 insulation and mechanical stability within complex cable assemblies or panel-mounted interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Provides structural support and electrical insulation for multi-pin D-Sub contact arrays
• Engineered for secure strain relief and alignment during crimping processes
• Designed to withstand environmental stresses common in industrial connectivity scenarios

Applications

• Industrial control panel wiring harnesses
• High-density data transmission cable assemblies
• Test and measurement equipment interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mating contacts required, as this housing does not include pins or sockets. Confirm orientation requirements such as straight or right-angle mounting styles if applicable to your design. Ensure compatibility with standard D-Sub shell sizes to guarantee proper enclosure fitment and shielding continuity in final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this housing when a 50-position D-Sub interface is required without pre-installed contacts. Consider the material properties regarding temperature resistance and flame retardancy ratings relative to your operational environment. Evaluate whether additional locking mechanisms or shielded shells are necessary for signal integrity protection.

Part Context

This component belongs to the broader family of AMP D-Sub connectors, widely utilized in telecommunications and computing infrastructure. It represents a standard solution for creating durable, high-pin-count connections where space efficiency and connection reliability are critical priorities for system integrators and OEM manufacturers.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with equivalent 50-position D-Sub housings from other manufacturers only if dimensional tolerances and material specifications match exactly. Verify that any substitute maintains the same contact retention force and dielectric strength characteristics to ensure functional equivalence.
