The TE Connectivity 5749626-2 is a hinged backshell from the AMPLIMITE Quik-Snap series, designed to clamp onto a standard 25-position D-sub connector (shell size B) and provide strain relief for the round cable bundle exiting the connector. It also fits HD44-position D-subs, which share the same shell size B footprint.
Cable Exit and Routing Flexibility
This backshell supports two cable exit angles: 120° and 180°. The 180° straight exit works when the cable runs directly away from the panel or board edge; the 120° angled exit lets the cable route at an offset, useful in enclosures where the connector sits near a wall or another component. The round cable entry is sized for standard round D-sub cable bundles — no flat ribbon here.
Included Hardware — What You Get in the Bag
The 5749626-2 ships with assembly hardware and a strain relief clamp included — no separate jack-screws, rivets, or clamp kit to order. The hinged design snaps closed over the connector body and the strain relief clamps onto the cable jacket. The black polypropylene body is unshielded, so this is for applications where EMI shielding is handled at the cable or enclosure level, not through the backshell.
Lifecycle and Sourcing — Last Buy Status
TE Connectivity lists the 5749626-2 as Last Buy. This means the part is in its final production run — once current stock is exhausted, it will not be manufactured again. For any BOM that calls out this specific order code, the window to secure inventory is closing.
