Braid tail swept elbow backshells

TE Connectivity (TE), a connectivity and sensors company, introduced the 70 series braid tail swept elbow backshells for a wide range of military and aerospace applications. TE’s 70 series swept elbow backshells offer designers the potential for up to 20% weight savings over traditional backshells, improving efficiency as content continues to grow in military and aerospace systems.

TE is complementing its series of banding (BT) and Tinel ring (TXR) backshells with a braid tail backshell. The new 70 series swept elbow backshells include a pre-terminated screenbraid sock for an overall screen, as well as constant internal radius and a smooth 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.

TE’s 70 series 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.
