The TE Connectivity 1-2308265-4 is a Qlock Post accessory kit designed for D-Sub connectors, specifically the Variant B shell size. It includes the mounting hardware — the Qlock post and associated fasteners — needed to secure a D-Sub backshell or hood to the connector body. This is a field-installable kit, not a connector itself; it completes the cable-to-connector assembly by providing the mechanical lock that prevents the backshell from vibrating loose in industrial or datacom environments.
What's in the Box and What It Replaces
The kit ships in a Box package and the hardware is included — you get the Qlock post and any screws or washers needed for that Variant B shell. This is the Qlock Post variant, distinct from the cable clamp kits (1-2308272-1 and 1-2308272-4) which use a different clamp mechanism to secure the cable exit. If your assembly calls for a Qlock-style post instead of a clamp, this is the correct pick. The 1-2308298-1 is the closest peer — also a Qlock Post kit, same Box packaging, same D-Sub compatibility, but verify shell variant against your backshell.
