Because the Art of Interconnect Cable Design Calls for More Technology than Just a Connector
Glenair understands that the management of EMI, environmental damage and mechanical stress factors in high-reliability cable assemblies usually requires the incorpoartion if various connector backshells and accessories. We offer thousands of EMI management products, cable-sealing backshells, protective covers, strain-relief devices and other essential accessories. In this section of the book we've organized a small selection of some of the most practical devices used in Mil-Aero cabling. We've chosen the most popular and useful products for assemblies built around the D38999 family.
For example, effective shielding of avionic devices equipped with D38999 signal connectors must anticipate both "radiated susceptibility" (the degree to which outside interference affects the reliable functioning of equipment) and "radiated emissions" (the extent to which the device itself creates electromagnetic waves which can affect its function). In both cases, managing the interference could include both a suitable EMI filtering device but also an appropriate selection of accessories such as shield termination backshells, EMI gaskets and conductive shielding.
For environmental protection, Glenair offers both standard shrink-boot products as well as more robust cable-sealing backshells and protective covers. For mechanical protection we offer a broad range of strain-relief backshells to prevent damage to the conductor-to-contact intertface. Whatever your requirement, Glenair has both the connectors, and the accessories, to put together a finished cable design that meets all the requirements of your application.
