TE Connectivity 1393738-2 is a D-Sub backshell/hood component designed to support cable termination, connector protection, and improved strain management in D-sub interconnect assemblies. Parts in this category are commonly used in industrial equipment, communications hardware, control systems, instrumentation, and legacy serial or I/O interface designs where connector reliability and cable organization matter. Engineers typically select backshells and hoods to help protect terminated contacts, support shielding strategies, and improve mechanical durability in field or panel-connected applications. For procurement teams, this part fits as a practical accessory for maintaining robust connector assemblies in both new builds and service environments. The current lifecycle status for 1393738-2 is information not available, so design teams should verify product availability directly with TE Connectivity or an authorized distributor before committing to production. RoHS compliance information is also not available in the provided data and should be confirmed through the official datasheet, manufacturer declarations, or distributor compliance documentation.
