TE Connectivity introduces new elbow back covers for cable and optical cable terminations for a variety of aviation applications

     TE Connectivity introduces new elbow back covers for cable and optical cable terminations in a wide range of aviation applications. As the content of aviation systems continues to grow and customers continue to seek greater efficiency, the TE elbow back cover can save designers up to 20% weight.

     TE elbow back cover is investment cast, so it has a fixed bore and smooth bore. It can be disassembled during maintenance to reduce damage to the sheath and is a simple and fast termination product. TE elbow back covers are currently available in a belt (BT) termination mode, with additional terminations to follow, and various products feature stress relief and cable support to help reduce bending or excessive bending.

     James Cowap, Product Manager, TE Global Aerospace, Defense & Marine, said: "The TE elbow back cover reduces weight for military and aerospace applications, an important advantage that helps designers improve efficiency in increasingly crowded application Spaces. The product also helps customers improve assembly convenience in high-vibration applications with large wiring harnesses."

     The TE elbow back cover is suitable for a wide variety of circular connectors, including MIL-DTL-38999 III and IV series and MIL-DTL-26482 II series circular connectors. In addition, it is available in a variety of feed sizes and plating configurations.
