It serves as the outer shell component that, when crimped over the cable jacket and inner ferrule, provides strain relief and mechanical retention for the cable assembly.
Position Range and Compatibility
The 3-745130-8 covers the full DB9 through DB50 shell size range — 9, 15, 25, 37, and 50 positions — with a single part number. This means one outer ferrule SKU can support multiple D-sub cable assemblies in your harness build, simplifying inventory. It mates with the matching inner ferrule and the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 connector backshell hardware to complete the cable-end termination.
