Following its worldwide franchise agreement with Polamco, assembling distributor PEI-Genesis is now stocking the most popular lines of connector backshells and protection caps. The 91 series screened backshells are now available in both straight and right-angle versions for use with MIL-DTL-38999 and MIL-DTL-26482 military circular connectors.

All variants incorporate a constant-force spring to keep braid in place, producing a 360° screen termination with electrical and mechanical characteristics that are unaffected by vibration, shock or extreme temperatures. The springs come in five different sizes and can be installed, released and reused without the need for special tools.

In addition to the stocked items, PEI-Genesis can also supply any of Polamco’s other standard backshells and accessories, as well as customised backshells to meet individual requirements. Design drawings can be provided in a matter of hours, and these design concepts are then rapidly turned into high-quality finished products.

A prominent feature of the PEI-Genesis Stand 1513 is Amphenol’s complete line of MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors, which come in an extensive range of shell sizes, insert arrangements, contact types and plating finishes. PEI-Genesis is QPL listed by the US Department of Defense for assembling the Amphenol MIL-DTL-38999 connectors both in the USA and at the PEI-Genesis European assembly facility in Southampton, UK.

Also on display is ITT’s range of D-subminiature connectors available in a vast array of different types and styles, including filtered versions for applications requiring EMI/RFI protection.
