Collection: Backshells
Connector backshells are indispensable accessories that thread onto the rear of circular or rectangular connectors, adding crucial support and protection while elevating the overall aesthetic appeal. These backshells are designed to seamlessly intermate with a connector's rear-end geometry, but selecting the right one can be a challenging task. The diversity in connector rear-end designs, nut/bolt configurations, and assembly methods often complicates the decision-making process.
When choosing a connector backshell, it's essential to consider several factors:
- Angle/Profile: Determine whether you need a straight, 90°, or 45° backshell.
- Coupling Style: Select from options like spin, self-lock, or direct coupling.
- Connector Type: Match the backshell to the specific connector you're using.
- Application Requirements: Consider the overall needs of your application.
Connector backshells cater to both commercial and military applications. They are available in environmental and non-environmental variants, suitable for general-duty use or rugged environments. Depending on your choice, they can also provide EMI/RFI protection. Keep in mind that certain backshell styles, such as circular banding or crimp-ring designs, may require additional external protection, such as heat shrink boots.
