Non Environmental backshell is an effective cable holding mechanism with good strain relief when the environmental protection of the cable termination area is not a concern. MATEC offers together with the supplier Amphenol cost effective solutions by eliminating extra sealing parts. This type of backshell is suitable for an inside the box/climate controlled room application where the cabling should be supported with adequate strain relief.

Environmental backshell not only provide the cable support and strain relief, but ensure the cable sealing and environment protection by means of a high quality sealing grommet and and grommet follower. Strain relief nut is tightened squeezing the grommet on to the cable jacket during assembly. These back shells from Amphenol delivered by MATEC gives 6 feet water protection when used with perfectly jacketed cable and are suitable for harsh environment applications.

Non Environmental EMI/RFI Backshells 360-degree screen termination facility is offered in addition to other features of the Non-Environmental type. Available in straight, 90 degree bent and 45 degree bent varieties, it accommodates both individual and overall shielding.

Environmental EMI/RFI Backshells individual and overall shielding can be achieved in this type in addition to the cable sealing. It is an ideal choice for the cabling solutions in the harsh environment situations where both electromagnetic and radio frequency noises are to be isolated.

Shrink boot adapter is a good option when the unshielded cables are terminated with heat shrink boots. It has a groove where the boot lip can hold which provides good grip apart from sufficient space inside for the cable looping. It is available only in straight version as angled boots are available for such terminations. Using the heat shrink boot is another way of providing the environmental protection and strain relief to cable termination. Using a suitable adapter is essential here to make sure the repairability. Amphenol shrink boot adapter delivered by MATEC is designed to provide excellent characteristics in all these parameters.

Shrink boot nut is suitable where space and weight are of major consideration. While saving on these fronts, it retains all the advantages of a shrink boot termination. Many applications where heat shrink boot termination is required are facing with space constraint due to the excessive length of boots. Amphenol shrink boot nut delivered by MATEC is a solution for such a problem, which minimize the overall length and hence the space requirement for such termination.

Band Lock Adaptor is another method of termination the screens. A high quality band will do the job in this back shell. Both the band and the banding tools are available from MATEC manufactured by Amphenol. 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. The shielding termination using the Band-IT bands of suitable size gives very good shielding characteristics. Tempered bands are tightened over the shields, which is pulled over the banding area, using special assembly tools.

Crimp Adaptor/Ring Backshell Many cable terminations where heat shrink boots are used will require provision for termination the screens too. It is achieved in this type of back shell thru a ring, which can be crimped to the back shell body holding the screens in between. A conventional crimping tool, which is manufactured by Amphenol and supplied by MATEC, will do the job effectively. The shield termination using the crimp ring is achieved without any special tools. The crimping could be done by the normal pliers with suitably modified jaws. By eliminating special tooling this Backshell become user friendly and at the same time provide effective 360° shield termination.

Tie Wrap Backshell Many applications call for just tidying up the cable in the desired direction with a "minimum weight” consideration. Amphenol Tie Wrap Backshells provided by MATEC are useful for such applications.

Strain Relief is not only tidy-up the cable after termination but provide good strain relief also. It is a low cost cable holding option when environmental protection is not a concern.

Grommet Nut Backshells provide a good grommet-holding force for the Crimp-Connectors, when expensive and heavy back shells are not used. Such holding force is essential to hold the contracts and grommet in place when terminated with wire bundles.
