What This Hardware Kit Does
The TE Connectivity 5552567-1 is a bail lock assembly for CHAMP D-Sub connectors. It's the latch mechanism that secures the cable-side plug to the panel-mount receptacle — without it, the connector pair relies entirely on screw-lock tension and can work loose under cable strain or vibration. The kit includes the 4-40 mounting hardware, so you get the jack-screws and standoffs needed to attach the bail lock to the connector body. It ships in a bag, one assembly per unit.
Where It Fits — CHAMP D-Sub Connectors
This bail lock is designed for use with CHAMP D-Sub connectors — the same family as the 50-position and 64-position CHAMP covers (552731-1 and 552496-1). If you're servicing a CHAMP cable assembly where the bail lock is broken or missing, this is the direct replacement part. The 4-40 hardware included matches the threaded inserts on standard CHAMP D-Sub backshells and connector bodies.
Compliance and Handling
ROHS3 compliant — no restricted substances in the metal hardware or plastic bail lock body. The kit is a mechanical assembly with no electrical rating; its only job is to hold the connector halves together under cable pull.
