4-40 Thread D-Sub Jackscrew Retainer
The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE 5745136-1 is a male screw retainer — a slotted jackscrew with a 4-40 thread, designed to secure the male D-sub connector half to the panel or mating receptacle. It includes a clip that holds the screw captive in the connector shell, so it doesn't drop out during assembly. The threaded length below the head measures 0.200" (5.08 mm), which gives enough engagement for standard D-sub panel thicknesses without bottoming out. This is a hardware accessory, not a connector body — it goes on the BOM as the retention component for AMPLIMITE HDE and HDP series D-subs.
The 5745136-1 is listed for use with AMPLIMITE Series HDE and HDP connectors. That covers the standard-density and high-density D-sub shells in those families. The 4-40 thread matches the standard UNC 4-40 jack-screw holes found on most D-sub hoods and backshells — same thread as the common DB-9 and DB-25 panel-mount hardware. If you're replacing a missing or stripped retainer on an existing AMPLIMITE assembly, this is the direct fit. No adapter or thread converter needed.
