The D-Sub lightweight backshell is a key element in protecting connectors and cables in space applications with tight weight and space constraints. C&K now offering new variants to address customer needs in applications where shielding is required.
The D-Sub backshell and haloring are available in two quality grades: the ESA/ESCC certified and the Engineering model. Both models are mainly focused on the space market, with applications in launchers, satellites and spacecraft, with a main use in harnesses.
