Glenair Makes the Broadest
Range of Composite
Interconnect Components
in the World
Swing-Arm is just one of
many backshell, strain-relief
products Glenair makes from
lightweight, thermoplastic
composite materials.
Glenair has been designing
and manufacturing
composite connector
accessories since 1986.
With hundreds of
designs already tooled and ready
for immediate shipment, we have more
designs tooled and in stock than the rest of the
interconnect accessory industry combined.
When it comes to composite connector
accessories, Glenair does it all—from
environmental and EMI/ RFI backshells to our new
G-Load Coupling and Knit Braid Backshells.
Composite Protective Covers
and Stowage Receptacles
Glenair makes a full range of QPL'd composite
plug and receptacle covers for 5015, 28840,
38999 and 83723 series connectors. Series 660
protective covers are critical components
in interconnect systems where
maintenance and test cycles can
lead to damage of exposed
connectors. Customers may
select from split and solid ring
designs equipped with rope,
sash and bead style chains made
from either nylon or stainless steel.
Conductive and nonconductive plating options are
available to match application requirements.
Composite RFI/EMI
Rectangular Backshells
Glenair’s line of composite rectangular
backshells is the largest in the industry.
Providing EMI protection for rectangular
connectors used in harsh or severe operating
environments, our D-Subminiature and Micro-
D versions are both available in top, side and
45° entry configurations together with the
full range of conductive and nonconductive
finishes. All backshell designs meet the
exact dimensional requirements for the
specified connector series. Many styles are
available from Glenair’s Same Day inventory.
Rectangular composite backshells include:
• Series 507 RFI/EMI Banding Backshell
for MIL-DTL-83513 and Micro-D
Connectors
• Series 557 RFI/EMI Banding Backshell
for MIL-C-24308 and D-Subminiature
Connectors
Composite Fittings for Convoluted
Tubing and Conduit Systems
When conduit requirements include weight reduction,
electromagnetic compatibility, and corrosionfree
performance, Glenair high temperature
thermoplastic composites are the answer. Composite
conduit fittings, including Y’s, T’s, panel mounts
and feedthroughs, are ideally suited for use with
lightweight PEEK plastic convoluted tubing or with
other material formulas in our Series 74 tubing line.
