The TE Connectivity 1445730-1 is a backshell with cable clamp from the CPC Miniature series, shell size 8. It clamps onto jacketed cable and threads onto the connector body via a 1/2-20 UNF-2A thread, providing strain relief and sealing the rear of the connector assembly. The 180° cable exit routes the cable straight out the back, which is the typical orientation for panel-mount or inline connectors where the cable runs directly away from the mating face. This is a 3-piece kit — the backshell body, the cable clamp insert, and the clamp nut — all included in one order code. The thermoplastic body is black, and the assembly carries an IP67 ingress protection rating when properly mated with the corresponding CPC Miniature connector and cable. That means it seals against dust and temporary water immersion, suited for outdoor equipment, industrial washdown areas, or engine compartments where moisture is a concern. The outside diameter of the clamp area is 0.709" (18.00 mm), which gives a sense of the cable O.D. range it accommodates. For jacketed cable that fits through that bore, the clamp compresses around the jacket to take the pull load off the contacts inside the connector.
Thread Size and Connector Compatibility
The thread on this backshell is 1/2-20 UNF-2A, a standard size for CPC Miniature connectors in shell size 8. That is the thread that screws onto the connector body — not the cable gland thread. The 2A tolerance means it is an external thread with a medium fit, which is the standard for this series.
