COTS alternative to mini D-Sub backshells helps reduce cost of military equipment
The MICRO-D backshells from NorComp provide a rugged, shielded option in designs which require tolerance of harsh conditions but which do not require a military specification.
MICRO-D backshells from NorComp are a rugged, space-saving alternative to conventional mini D-Sub backshells.
Optimized for use with the NorComp 380 and 580-M series connectors, the MICRO-D backshell provides a metal-to-metal interface for strong mechanical connections while maintaining shielding effectiveness in demanding environments.
The NorComp addition of backshells to its portfolio complements the range of military-specification commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) MICRO-D connectors. The MICRO-D backshells are suitable for applications in which the connector requires a military specification but accessories such as a backshell do not, providing a 10x reduction in bill-of-materials cost.Â
A compact unit, the MICRO-D backshell provides the reliability and ruggedness needed in harsh operating conditions.
The NorComp backshell kits include two backshell halves, four shell screws, two thumb screws, and one grommet tree, providing a complete backshell assembly.
