Backshells & Protective Caps for Connectors

Circular backshells

Backshells are threaded onto the rear of the connector and provide screening, environmental sealing, strain relief and EMI/RFI protection for cable terminations.

This range includes straight and R/A single / double screen cone, cone and cable clamp, CFS, heat shrink boot, band, PG, dummy receptacle, caps, blanking covers, shorting cans etc.

The product is available in all standard materials and plating / finishes including the new high-performance hybrid finish and is RoHS, REACH and VG approved.

Rectangular backshells

Backshells are available in various styles and configurations including straight, 45° & 90°, split-type or one piece body.

Backshells for d-sub, micro d-sub, ARINC 600 rank and panel connectors.
