Reliable, Scalable Interconnects for Modern Electronic Systems
For over 70 years, AMPLIMITE D Subminiature connectors have served as a core part of TE's interconnect heritage, offering a robust, standardized, and highly configurable interface for signal, low power, and mixed contact applications across commercial markets. The AMPLIMITE connector system helps enable customers to standardize interfaces while tuning density, mounting, shielding, and cost for each design. Their combination of standardization, robustness, and adaptability makes them a preferred interface as systems become more modular and space constrained.

AMPLIMITE .050 Series Connectors
Our reliable AMPLIMITE D-sub .050 series connector portfolio off ers a high density D type interface and includes right angle and vertical D-subs. Both versions have three mating faces available; fl at face, latch block and latch block with rails. Plug and receptacle positions include 20, 26, 28, 40, 50, 68, 80, 100 and 120 (ACTION PIN only).
AMPLIMITE .050 Series connectors utilize gold plated tab and tuning fork contacts on a compact .050 x .100 grid spacing and are available with 20 to 100 positions. The AMPLIMITE .050 series cable connectors terminate to wire via the insulation displacement contact (IDC) termination method, which provides fast, reliable and economical termination of discrete wire or ribbon cable. Both solder, and compliant pin terminations are off ered on the printer circuit board versions. All connectors are produced with metal shell construction, which provides EMI/RFI shielding capability and high durability.
