Understanding Backshells: Protection, Durability, and EMI/RFI Shielding
Backshells are essential components for protecting circular connectors by providing strain relief, environmental sealing, and EMI/RFI shielding. An estimated 70-75% of all circular connectors require a backshell, making them a critical part of any robust interconnect system.
