Harwin protects Datamate connectors with aluminium backshells

The backshells with increase the mechanical robustness, as well as providing EMI/RFI protection.

Incorporated into the female cable versions is an attachment feature to allow for braid screening. There is an elliptical entry hole for braid placement, along with a choice of slotted or hexagonal jackscrews on either side for securing the connection (as well as providing strain relief).

The male backshell is designed for panel mount applications, and is compatible with both cable or vertical PCB connector styles. Full 360 degree EMI/RFI shielding is delivered once the male/female mating process has been completed.

A working temperature range spanning from -55°C to +125°C is supported.

The new backshells can be used in conjunction with both the company’s J-Tek and its Mix-Tek Datamate connector product lines – with signal, power and coax cabling all being accommodated.
