What This Ferrule Does in an SDL Connector Assembly
It is an accessory component — not a connector half itself — that fits over the cable bundle entering the SDL connector backshell, providing strain relief and cable organization. The ferrule helps maintain the bend radius and keeps individual conductors from splaying out, which is critical when the assembly is routed inside a cabinet or along a machine frame.
This ferrule is intended for SDL connectors, a TE Connectivity family used in industrial and data-communications cabling. It is not a universal fit for all SDL connector types — the 8-position count matches SDL connectors with 8 circuits. Before ordering, confirm that your SDL connector housing and backshell accept an 8-position ferrule; the ferrule itself does not carry a keying feature, so it relies on the connector shell for orientation.
It ships in Bulk packaging.
