What This Backshell Covers
The TE Connectivity ADK 1-1478763-5 is a two-piece D-sub backshell designed to fit standard 15-position and high-density 26-position D-sub connectors with shell size A. It accepts round cable and routes it at a 45° angle from the connector axis, a detail that matters when the cable bundle needs to clear a panel edge or adjacent connector. The metal zinc body carries a nickel plating and includes the 4-40 mating screws, grommets, and strain relief hardware — so the assembly kit is in the bag, not a separate line item.
45° Exit vs. Straight Exit
The sibling 1-1478762-5 shares every spec — same 15-position fit, same nickel-plated zinc body, same included hardware — except its cable exit is 180° (straight). The 1-1478763-5 routes the cable at 45°, which buys you a lower profile in the cable direction and keeps the bundle from projecting straight back into the enclosure wall. Choose the 45° version when the connector sits near a panel edge or another component that blocks a straight pull.
