Backshells
HOW TO SELECT A BACKSHELL
1. Select the Backshell Type, pg. 6-7
(i.e. Non-Environmental backshell)
2. Select Angle, pg. 8
(i.e. Straight)
3. Select Coupling Style, pg. 8
(i.e. Spin)
In order to complete steps 4-9, you must know the connector specification. For example, we’ll use connector D38999/26WB35PN
to walk through the remaining steps of selecting a backshell.
4. Select Connector Group Code based on your connector specification, pg. 9-13
(i.e. L)
5. Go to Table of Contents, pg. 4, to find the page numbers your selection resides
(i.e. page 56-58)
6. For the material and finish options, review Table-2 on pg. 14
(i.e. Cadmium Olive Drab over Electroless Nickel)
*Recommended to follow the same finish as connector
In order to complete step 7, you must know the actual cable diameter. For example, we’ll use the cable diameter of 0.20 inches to
walk through the remaining steps of selecting a backshell.
7. Determine the clamp size by using the table on the product page.
(i.e. page 56)
For this example a 0.20 in cable diameter
will be used.
(i.e. Clamp size-02)
*Omit if not available in the backshell selected
8. If applicable, determine backshell length using the table on the product page.
(i.e. page 56; 2.53 = A)
*Omit if not available in the backshell selected/ Skip for 90
o
and 45

backshells
9. Build a part number based on the selections you made
(i.e. M85049/2111W02A)
*Contact Amphenol Pcd if you can not find your preferences to meet your application, we may be able to support under priority part number

Customize
Backshells for Military & Aerospace applications are governed by SAE, AS85049 standard and Amphenol Backshells are
designed to meet the requirement of this standard. Though this standard covers the most popular styles of backshells, many
applications call for additional styles and designs. Here is where the capability of Amphenol can support you from the concept to
product realization and thereby your unique specification need is satisfied.
