Backshell for the CHAMP 68-Position Connector
The TE Connectivity 5788362-1 is a two-piece backshell from the CHAMP series, designed to fit a 68-position connector. The backshell is constructed from zinc metal with a nickel over copper plating, giving it a silver appearance. This metal construction provides EMI shielding continuity when mated with a compatible CHAMP connector, and the nickel plating offers corrosion resistance for industrial environments.
What Hardware Is Included
The 5788362-1 ships with assembly hardware and a strain relief mechanism included — no separate hardware kit to order. The two-piece shell clamps around the cable jacket, and the strain relief grips the cable to prevent pull-out forces from reaching the connector contacts. This is a field-service-friendly design: the backshell can be opened for cable rework or re-termination without destroying the assembly.
Position Count and Compatibility
This backshell is sized for the full-density CHAMP connector at 68 positions.
