Two-Piece Shielded Backshell for Standard D-Sub Connectors
The TE Connectivity 5745171-5 is a two-piece backshell from the AMPLIMITE series, designed to terminate round cable to standard D-sub connectors. It is compatible with both 9-position and high-density 15-position D-sub connectors using shell size E, making it a versatile choice for cable assemblies requiring EMI/RFI shielding. The backshell is constructed from metal zinc alloy with a nickel over copper plating, providing robust shielding effectiveness and corrosion resistance. It includes the 4-40 mating screws, assembly hardware, and strain relief — a complete kit that eliminates the need to source separate hardware. The 180° cable exit allows straight-through cable routing, suitable for inline cable assemblies where space along the cable axis is available. The shielded construction is rated for round cable types, and the nickel over copper plating ensures low-resistance continuity between the backshell halves and the connector shell.
