The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE 745779-2 is a spring latch accessory for AMPLIMITE Series shielded backshells, covering the full DB9 through DB37 shell-size range. It secures the backshell to the D-sub connector body, providing the mechanical retention that keeps the cable shield grounded through the shell. The latch fits any AMPLIMITE backshell within that position range — one part number for the whole family.
Compatibility — Does It Fit DB9 Connectors?
Yes, the 745779-2 spring latch is compatible with DB9 connectors when used with the matching AMPLIMITE Series shielded backshell. The 9 ~ 37 position range covers DB9 through DB37 shell sizes, so the same latch works across a DB9, DB15, DB25, or DB37 assembly. It does not mate directly to a bare D-sub connector — it attaches to the backshell that clamps over the cable and shield.
