It is a shielded, nickel-plated zinc assembly that provides both mechanical strain relief and EMI containment for round cable harnesses. The backshell includes mating screws (4-40 thread) and assembly hardware — grommets and strain relief — so you get everything needed to terminate a cable in one package. This is the standard ADK-series backshell for DB25 connectors, and it also fits high-density 44-position D-sub shells (same shell size B), making it a versatile choice for legacy serial, parallel, or instrumentation cables. ## Shielding and Hardware — What You Get The shielded design uses a full metal shell to contain radiated emissions and protect against external interference — critical when running D-sub cables near power supplies or in industrial racks. The included 4-40 mating screws let you secure the backshell to the connector without sourcing separate hardware; they thread into the standard D-sub jackscrew holes. Assembly hardware, grommets, and strain relief are all in the box, so you can clamp the cable jacket and prevent pull-out at the termination point. The nickel plating on the zinc die-cast body resists corrosion and maintains a consistent ground path across the shell. This backshell is designed for 25-position D-sub connectors and also fits high-density 44-position shells that share the same shell size B. The two-piece construction allows you to assemble the backshell after the wires are terminated to the D-sub, then close the halves and tighten the screws. This is the same approach used on AMPLIMITE HDP-20 and other standard D-sub families — the backshell clamps over the connector body and the 4-40 screws engage the threaded inserts.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity ADK 5-1478762-3 Backshell, 25 Pos, Shielded","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity ADK series 5-1478762-3 two-piece metal backshell, 25 positions, shielded, nickel plated, includes 4-40 mating screws.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"ADK","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["D-Sub & D-Shaped Connectors","D-Sub Backshells & Hoods"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Silver","Series":"ADK","Package":"Bulk","Plating":"Nickel","Features":"Mating Screws 4-40","Hardware":"Assembly Hardware, Grommets, Strain Relief","Material":"Metal, Zinc","Shielding":"Shielded","Cable Exit":"180°","Cable Type":"Round","Accessory Type":"Two Piece Backshell","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Primary Material":"Metal","Base Product Number":"1478762","Number of Positions":"25","Compatible D-Sub Size":"25pos and HD44pos","Compatible Shell Size":"B"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$13.9200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$13.92000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$12.58700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$12.25440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$11.78820","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$10.92240","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$10.85576","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$10.45616","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$9.32397","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does 5-1478762-3 include the 4-40 mating screws?","answer":"Yes, the 5-1478762-3 includes mating screws with 4-40 thread as a standard feature, along with assembly hardware, grommets, and strain relief."},{"question":"Is 5-1478762-3 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 5-1478762-3 is RoHS Compliant, meeting the EU directive for restriction of hazardous substances."},{"question":"Can 5-1478762-3 be used with AMPLIMITE HDP-20 connectors?","answer":"Yes, this backshell is compatible with standard 25-position D-sub connectors, including AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series, as well as high-density 44-position shells that share the same shell size B."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/5-1478762-3","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/5-1478762-3 when reusing this data.
