The TE Connectivity 207473-1 is a hinged backshell from the AMPLIMITE series, designed to fit a 37-position D-sub connector with shell size C. Its job is to clamp the round cable jacket, provide strain relief, and give you two cable exit options — 90° and 180° — from a single shell half. The polypropylene (PP) body keeps weight down and the black colour matches standard D-sub hardware. Assembly hardware and strain relief are included in the package, so you don't need to order those separately.
Dual Exit Angles — One Part for Straight or Right-Angle Routing
The 207473-1 supports both 90° and 180° cable exit from the same hinged shell. You don't need to stock two backshell variants for the two routing options — just rotate the cable entry orientation during assembly.
Compatibility — Not Just 37-Position D-Subs
The 37-position count matches shell size C D-sub connectors. The round cable type is what the strain relief is designed to grip.
Lifecycle — Still in Active Production
No last-time-buy to chase, no end-of-life notice to plan around. It's a current-production part that can be specified into a BOM without obsolescence risk.
