The TE Connectivity 5750100-1 is a hinged backshell from the AMPLIMITE Quik-Snap series, designed for terminating round cable to D-subminiature connectors. It fits standard 9-position D-sub shells as well as HD-15 housings (both share the E shell size), making it a single part number for two common connector footprints. The polypropylene body is black and unshielded, intended for indoor equipment where EMI shielding is handled elsewhere in the cable assembly. Integrated strain relief is built into the backshell — no separate clamp is needed. The hinged clamshell opens for cable prep, then snaps closed around the wire bundle. Cable exit is selectable at either 120° or 180° from the connector axis, giving the harness builder routing flexibility inside an enclosure or along a panel edge.
Compatibility and Cable Routing
The backshell mates with any standard D-sub connector that uses shell size E — that covers both 9-position and high-density 15-position D-subs. For the cable side, it accepts round cable bundles that fit within the internal cavity. The polypropylene material is a common choice for low-cost, non-shielded backshells in office or light industrial gear; it won't handle the thermal load of a soldering iron directly, but it survives normal assembly and operating temperatures. The black colour is the only finish available on this order code.
