What This Ferrule Does in an AMPLIMITE Assembly
The TE Connectivity 745508-4 is a split-ring ferrule from the AMPLIMITE series, designed for use with AMPLIMITE Series cable clamps. It fits both 15- and 25-position D-sub backshells, cinching the cable shield termination before the clamp body closes. The split-ring shape lets it compress evenly around the cable jacket, holding the braid or foil shield against the clamp's inner bore for a continuous ground path.
Position Fit — DB15 and DB25
This ferrule covers two shell sizes: 15 and 25 positions. The same part serves both shell counts.
Shielded Construction and Bulk Packaging
The ferrule carries a Shielded feature designation — the metal split ring provides the contact surface for the cable shield, not just a mechanical clamp. It ships in Bulk packaging, so you get loose parts for bench or harness-board assembly rather than tape-and-reel.
