Product details

Hinged Backshell for 15-Position D-Sub, Dual Exit Angles

The TE Connectivity 5206478-2 is a hinged backshell from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series, designed to fit standard 15-position D-sub connectors as well as HD-26 position shells sharing the same shell size A. It accepts round cable and offers both 45° and 180° cable exit options, giving the harness builder flexibility in routing the cable bundle away from the connector. The housing is molded from black thermoplastic and comes with the assembly hardware — including 4-40 mating screws and a strain relief clamp — already in the bag.

15-Position Fit, Shell Size A

This backshell is specced for 15 positions and compatible D-sub size 15pos and HD26pos, both sharing shell size A. That means it fits the standard DB-15 footprint as well as the higher-density HD-26 shell that uses the same outer dimensions — a useful cross-compatibility if you're standardizing on one backshell for two connector densities.
