The TE Connectivity 1-1888021-2 is a shell accessory from the EVERCLEAR series, designed specifically for use with miniSAS receptacles. This is not a connector body or a complete interconnect — it is the outer metal housing that encloses and shields the receptacle assembly. The shell provides the mechanical interface and EMI containment for the miniSAS port, making it a critical piece in the build-to-print BOM for cable assemblies and backplane I/O panels.
Build-to-Print BOM Note
For a complete miniSAS interconnect assembly, this shell is one component. You will also need the matching miniSAS receptacle (sold separately) and the appropriate contacts and backshell hardware. The shell ships in a tray; the package type is Tray, so plan for tray-based handling in your assembly process. The base product number is 1888021, which groups this shell with its family variants.
