TE Connectivity’s (TE) Tinel Ring (TXR) swept elbow backshells are designed with a smooth internal bore and a continuous bend radius. TE is complementing the recently introduced banding (BT) backshell with a tinel-lock version (TXR) to suit a wide range of circular connectors. These backshells offer up to 20% weight savings over traditional backshells. Swept elbow backshells can be utilized in many aerospace and defence applications where highly reliable termination solutions are required. With a heat shrink boot, backshells can provide strain relief and cable support to help prevent bending or overflexing. Typically used in aerospace and defence applications. TXR40 mates to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III & IV and when mated shall provide water-tight seal meeting the requirements of MIL-C-85049.
