Weald Electronics’ new backshell catalogue now brings together its recently extended high-quality range of backshells in one, easy-to-use document, providing an outline description of form, fit, and function for each style, alongside full technical and part number information.
Standard products are normally available next day, and Weald Electronics is able to tailor a connector solution to exactly meet a customer’s specific requirement on surprisingly short lead times.
For most connector styles, backshells provide the important transition between the connector body and the chosen cable to provide sealing and strain relief of the completed assembly, and where applicable, to maintain the environmental and RFI screening integrity of the overall connector to cable interface.
The Weald LMA range includes EMI/RFI shielding and heat shrink boot backshells, cable clamp strain relief backshells, low profile and standard heat shrink boot backshells, and extended adaptors for fibre optic connectors.
They are based on AS85049/M85049 specifications in aluminium, marine nickel-aluminium bronze and stainless steel with straight and 90-degree options and are compatible with industry-standard MIL-DTL-38999 Series III (interface H) or MIL-DTL-26482 Series I connectors (interface D) from leading manufacturers such as Amphenol, EATON Souriau, TE Deutsch, ITT Cannon and Weald Electronics.
As many different cable types, materials and dimensions can be used within any given backshell assembly, it is essetial that the end user carefully considers all aspects of the final assembly requirements when selecting and specifying appropriate part numbers.
For designers to complete an interconnection solution, Weald manufactures protective caps and backshells for MIL-DTL-38999 and 26482 applications as well as protective caps, nut plates and gaskets for use in industrial and motorsport applications. Comprehensive selection information is available on the Weald Electronics website.
