Amphenol Backshells are available in several different types, designed for optimum
performance in the application or environment it will be used in. For example; in
ground and naval applications the robustness and environmental sealing may be more
important, where as weight may be the prime consideration for space and Aerospace
application. The following overview explains the various families of Amphenol Back-
shells with its applications.
Some families of backshells shown here can be used without any additional protection.
Some other types of backshells shown are generally used with heat shrink boots or
similar protection/strain relief mechanism depending upon the specific requirements.
Also, there are some clamps & nuts for the applications where varying degrees of
strain reliefs and cable holding will suffice and weight saving is of higher importance.
Non-Environmental Backshell
• Effective cable holding mechanism with good strain
relief when the environmental protection of the cable
termination area is not a concern. Amphenol offers
cost-effective solutions by eliminating extra sealing
parts.
• Suitable for an inside the box/climate controlled
room application where heavy cabling should be
supported with adequate strain relief.

Environmental Backshell
• Not only provide the cable support and strain relief, but en-
sure the cable sealing and environment protection by means
of high quality sealing grommet and grommet follower. The
strain relief nut is tightened squeezing the grommet onto the
cable jacket during assembly.
• Provides 6 feet water sealing protection when used with
perfectly jacketed cable, and suitable for harsh environment
applications.

Class L
• 360-degree screen termination facility, in addition to
other features of the Non-Environmental type. Avail-
able in straight, 90 degree bent and 45 degree bent
varieties.
• Accommodates both individual and overall shielding.

Environmental EMI/RFI Backshell
• Ideal choice for heavy duty cabling solutions in harsh envi-
ronment situations where electromagnet and radio frequen-
cy noises are to be isolated.
• Accommodates both individual and overall shielding.

Shrink Boot Adapter
• A good solution when the unshielded cables are terminated
with heat shrink boots. It has a groove where the boot lip
can be held which provides good grip apart from sufficient
space inside for the cable looping.
• Using the heat shrink boot is one way of providing envi-
ronmental protection and strain relief to cable termination.
Using a suitable adapter is essential here to ensure the
repairability.

Crimp Ring Adapter
• Many cable terminations where heat shrink boots are used
will require provision for terminating the screens too. It is
achieved in this type of backshell through a ring, which can
be crimped to the backshell body holding the screens in
between.

Band Lock Adapter
• Another method of termination of screens. A high quality
band will do the job in this backshell. Tempered bands are
tightened over the shields, which is pulled over the banding
area, using a special assembly tool.
• Suitable over cover by heat shrink boot or some other
method as chosen by the designer could be used.
• Both crimp ring and banded terminations give a low DC
resistance.

Pre-Shield Adapter
• Supplied with some length of braid attached. This braid
overlaps with the cable braid.
• Effective shielding takes place due to the 360° contact of the
braid.
• Designed to accept heat shrink boot.
• Ease of assembly saves time for cable termination.

SQ Adapter
• Another cost-effective way to terminate the braid to the
adapter. The cost-effective braid is pulled over the conical
shape to the rear end of the adapter and then tied. The end
nut is tightened to ensure adequate grip for the shielding.
• A heat shrink boot can be used with this adapter also.

Strain Relief Clamps
• Another cost effective cable holding option when environ-
mental protection is not a concern, and weight savings is a
major consideration.
• Secures and “tidys-up” the cable and also provides good

Grommet Nut
• Provides a good grommet-holding force for the crimp con-
nectors when expensive and heavy backshells are not used.
Such holding force is essential to hold the contacts and
grommet in place when terminated with wire bundles.

Lamp Thread Adapter
• An adapter with threads similar to that in the lamp base for
shield termination.
• An effective, easy and quick method of shield termination
and field maintenance.
• Termination area can accept a nut as well as a clamp. The
nut option enables the use of heat shrink boot and the
clamp option will facilitate the strain relief clamping without
heat shrink boot after the shield/cable termination.
