HARRISBURG, Pa. – TE Connectivity (TE) has introduced its new swept elbow backshells for electrical and fiber cables in a wide range of military and aerospace applications. As content continues to grow in military and aerospace systems and customers look for improved efficiency, TE’s swept elbow backshells offer designers the potential for up to 20% weight savings.
TE’s new backshells provide constant internal radius and a smoother internal bore using investment casting. They are designed to allow for uncoupling during repairs, which helps reduce damage to the boot, resulting in a simple and fast termination option. Available in a band strap (BT) termination style, with more options to follow, TE’s new backshells can provide strain relief and cable support to help reduce bending or overflexing.
TE’s swept elbow backshells suit a wide range of circular connectors and they are available in multiple shell sizes and plating configurations. Those include MIL-DTL-38999 series III and IV as well as MIL-DTL-26482 series II.
