The TE Connectivity 2-2308350-0 is a crimp barrel accessory designed for use with D-sub backshells. It serves as the termination point where the cable shield or drain wire is crimped and secured inside the backshell assembly, providing strain relief and grounding continuity for the shielded cable. This part is not a standalone connector — it's a field-replaceable component that completes the backshell termination for D-sub harnesses in industrial control, data communication, and instrumentation cabling.
Compatibility and Termination
The 2-2308350-0 mates with TE D-sub backshells, accepting the shield or drain wire from a shielded D-sub cable assembly. The crimp barrel is compressed around the wire using a standard crimp tool, then inserted into the backshell cavity where it is retained by the backshell's clamping mechanism. No soldering required — the crimp connection provides a gas-tight, vibration-resistant termination that handles the mechanical strain on the cable shield.
