Lightweight Aluminum Backshells

GROUND SCREWSSPACIOUS INTERIOR• Sized and spaced for use with 6.35mm[.250 inch] diameter ring terminals• Shape maximizes internal area whichfacilitates harness assembly• Ground shelf height and ground screw
length allow for stacking of ring terminals• No obstruction behind any portion of theconnector body allows backshell to be
used with Combo-D connectors• Holes are pre-tapped for ease ofinstallation• Ground screws are located outside theexiting wire path to facilitate wire routing• Ground holes are tapped through to theoutside which provide for optional external
grounding

APERTURE / STRAIN RELIEF• Appropriate for high density wire bundles
using twisted, shielded pairs• Cable clamps can be “spooned” to provide
strain relief for small wire bundle• Wide form factor allows the user to easily
meet bend radius requirements

LOCKING SYSTEM• Available with jackscrews or quick
disconnect locking device

THUMB GRIPS• Grip facilitates installation and removal intight spaces
