BIT Workx Prototyping Capability
Get a Faster, Smarter Backshell Solution
Dealing with all the variables in commercial and MIL-Spec backshell designs can be a challenging, time-consuming task. As the mechanical device that surrounds the rear of the connector, a backshell must accommodate many application-specific variables: wire-end/cable-bundle geometries, size and weight restrictions, environmental protection and sealing issues, physical requirements (angles/profiles, strain relief, shielding, termination, etc.).
Why You Should Choose the BIT Workx prototyping service from TE?
The full service BIT Workx design and accelerated prototyping capability is faster and smarter than conventional approaches to providing commercial backshells.
The new design and prototyping cell resides in a TE facility that has received AS9100 certification. This facility also manufactures products qualifying under Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). CoC and FAI available upon request.
Count on the BIT Workx design service to deliver solutions fast to expedite Time to Market—whether your application calls for a design-in derivative or a special backshell solution.

Full-Service Design and Accelerated Prototyping
Accelerate Time to Market, Eliminate Roadblocks
BIT Workx design service harnesses the technologies of a New Product Introduction (NPI) cell with the legacy resources of TE. The result is a full-service capability able to define, develop, prototype, and preproduce your solution in an average of 6-weeks. It’s the smart way to eliminate project roadblocks, simplify logistics, and ensure on-time delivery of critical parts.
TE’s has a technological heritage in commercial and Mil-Spec connectors and backshells. Our deep understanding of interconnect technologies means we “Follow the Wire” to deliver optimal backshell and accessory solutions. You can count on our broad product portfolio, expert engineer-tocustomer and engineer-to-engineer support, and wide knowledge base to assure your success.
