Amphenol Backshells are available in three different angular profiles: straight, 90 degree
and 45 degree. These profiles will meet most of the cable routing required in the inter-
connect market. We can also make additional profiles if required. Please go to the web

90° Angled Backshells
45° Angled Backshells
Amphenol offers fur-
ther design flexibility
with a backshell that
allows the cable to be
routed 45° to the axis
of the assembly.
Many applications require the cable
to be bent and routed rather than
straight routed. Amphenol offers
a 90° angled style in all the Back-
shell families for space saving and
convenience.

BACKSHELL COUPLING STYLES
Various coupling styles are available for the coupling between the backshell and the connec-
tor. Popular styles are shown in the respective backshell sections, and custom profiles can
be designed. Please go to the web link http://www.backshellworld.com/customdesign.

Spin Coupling
A captivated coupling nut within the backshell which
provides the following advantages:
•
Free rotation of the coupling nut which makes the
assembly of the backshell to the connector easy
without turning the entire backshell body.
Lock wire holes are provided on the coupling nut to
prevent accidental decoupling.
•
Self-Lock Coupling
Same as the Spin Coupling style with the additional
feature of “self-locking”. Internally locks the movement
of the coupling nut so that accidental decoupling is
prevented. Used in higher vibration conditions.
Direct Coupling
The coupling nut is eliminated in this design, and the
backshell directly threads to the connector. For appli-
cations when simple direct connectivity is sufficient.
