What This Ferrule Does in the AMPLIMITE Cable-Clamp Assembly
The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE 745508-1 is a ferrule and split ring — the piece that cinches the cable braid or shield against the backshell on a D-sub cable clamp. It fits the AMPLIMITE series cable clamps across three shell sizes: DB15, DB25, and DB37. The split-ring design lets you wrap it around the cable after termination, then slide it into the clamp body before tightening the clamp screws. The shielded construction means it completes the EMI envelope around the cable entry point — the braid terminates against this ferrule, not just the clamp fingers.
Which D-Sub Shell Sizes It Covers
A single 745508-1 ferrule spans the three most common D-sub shell sizes: 15, 25, and 37 positions. That means one part number on the BOM covers the cable-clamp hardware for a DB15, DB25, or DB37 connector — the ferrule OD and split-ring diameter are sized to fit the same clamp body across that shell-size range. No need to stock three separate ferrules for a harness shop building mixed D-sub cable assemblies.
