BACKSHELLS

FAQ's

01Can all MIL-DTL-38999 connectors accept backshells?

All types of plugs and receptacles can accept backshells, except box mounting receptacles (LJT02, LJTP02, JT02, JTP02, TVP02, CTVP02), which do not have any thread at the rear of connector.

Each backshell can be used on both plug and receptacle of the same connector range and size (ex: TV NSA 15 014 can be put at the rear of both TV06RW1535P and TVP00RW1535S or TV07RW1519P)

02What are the main functions of backshells?

Backshells are used mainly at the rear of plugs, but can also be used at the rear of receptacles.

Functions of backshells are:

  • Mechanical strength (cable retention)
  • Sealing (waterproofness)
  • EMI shielding

Amphenol backshell range is made of pieces which can achieve one of this function or a combination of two or three of these functions.
To get further information, please consult our backshell catalog.

03Can all MIL-DTL-38999 connectors accept backshells?

All types of plugs and receptacles can accept backshells, except box mounting receptacles (LJT02, LJTP02, JT02, JTP02, TVP02, CTVP02), which do not have any thread at the rear of connector.

Each backshell can be used on both plug and receptacle of the same connector range and size (ex: TV NSA 15 014 can be put at the rear of both TV06RW1535P and TVP00RW1535S or TV07RW1519P)

04Are backshells delivered with MIL-DTL-38999 connectors?

  • MIL-DTL-38999 series I connectors are generally not delivered with backshell, except for:
    • LJT xx RE versions (= JMS27xxx E), which are delivered with grommet nut
    • LJT xx RE xxx SR versions, which are delivered with strain relief
  • MIL-DTL-38999 series II connectors are generally not delivered with backshell, except for:
    • JT xx RE versions (= JMS27xxx E), which are delivered with grommet nut
    • JT xx RE xxx SR versions, which are delivered with strain relief
  • MIL-DTL-38999 series III connectors are not delivered with any type of backshell.

To get further information on our backshell offer, please consult our backshell catalog.

05Which cable diameter can be used with our backshell?

Accepted cable diameters are listed in our SL61 series datasheet. These dimensions varies according to the connector’s size. You will find these dimensions page 3 of the datasheet. Different clamping pads are delivered with the backshells.
