AMPSEAL 16 Connectors Backshell

Resilience in Harsh Environments

• Helps maintain reliable connections under exposure to dust, water, chemicals, and temperature extremes, making them suitable for demanding ICT applications such as off-road vehicles, agricultural equipment, and construction machinery.

• Supports IP67 sealing standards, adding a layer of protection against water immersion and particle ingress.

Enhanced Wire Management

• The 90° backshell configuration provides 360° rotational adjustability, aiding engineers in optimizing harness layouts for confined or complex spaces in industrial equipment.

• Smooth wire exits feature integrated tie-wrap slots to help secure cables, while corrugated tubing options accommodate diverse conduit sizes, allowing for tailored solutions.

Excellent Durability

• The robust thermoplastic material offers resistance to impacts, vibrations, and external stresses, making the backshells dependable in high-vibration environments like heavy-duty vehicles.

• Backed by thermal stability, these backshells function across temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C, supporting use in high-temperature zones such as engine compartments and after-treatment systems.

Simplified Maintenance and Installation

• Snap-on assembly reduces installation complexity, minimizing downtime during initial setup or maintenance operations.

• Modular configurations, such as two-piece 180° versions, simplify integration into existing harness systems without requiring extensive redesigns.

Flexibility for System Design

• Available in configurations for 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 positions, the backshells allow engineers to address a wide range of wiring needs in ICT applications.

• Options for smooth or corrugated exits, as well as compatibility with a variety of AMPSEAL 16 connectors, provide system designers with the versatility to adapt to different environmental and operational demands.

Improved System Reliability

• Helps mitigate the risks of electrical failures by reducing stress on wire terminations, maintaining stable connections during operational vibrations, and shielding sensitive connections from external contaminants.

• The integrated strain relief features contribute to consistent electrical performance over the life of the system.

Designed for Rugged Transportation Needs

• Specifically developed to align with the rigorous performance requirements of on-highway and off-highway vehicles, agricultural machinery, and other commercial transport systems.

• Offers tailored solutions to support evolving ICT industry needs, supporting compatibility with modern vehicle architectures and emerging technologies.

From construction sites to highways, AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells are built to handle the challenges of industrial and commercial transportation. By protecting electrical connections and simplifying maintenance, they enable vehicles to perform reliably in the toughest conditions, keeping operations moving forward efficiently.

• Off-Highway Vehicles: In rugged construction environments, bulldozers, excavators, and loaders rely on AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells to protect critical connections. These backshells guard against heavy vibrations, dust, and water exposure. The 90° configuration is particularly useful in streamlining wiring in tight spaces, reducing strain on cables and extending the system's operational life.

• Agricultural Machinery: Farm equipment like tractors, combines, and sprayers must endure dirt, moisture, and chemical exposure while operating in fields. AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells shield electrical systems from these elements, keeping them safe and functional. Smooth wire exits with tie-wrap slots help secure cables, preventing wear and enabling reliable performance throughout long working hours.

• Heavy-Duty Trucks and Buses: For long-haul vehicles and transit buses, AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells enhance the safety and durability of connections in engine controls, lighting systems, and braking mechanisms. These backshells add strain relief, reducing wire fatigue caused by constant use and vibrations, which helps maintain reliability over extended periods.

• Construction Equipment: In machines like cranes, graders, and pavers, electrical systems are frequently exposed to extreme temperatures and constant vibrations. AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells are designed to withstand these harsh conditions, offering durable protection for wires. Corrugated tubing backshells, in particular, provide additional abrasion resistance, confirming cables remain intact and functional.

• Recreational and Specialty Vehicles: ATVs, snowmobiles, and utility vehicles often operate in extreme weather conditions. AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells safeguard connections for lighting, infotainment, and engine control systems. The snap-on design makes installation simple, reducing maintenance time and confirming vehicles can quickly return to operation when repairs are needed.

• Powertrain and Engine Compartments: In both hybrid and conventional powertrain systems, AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells perform well in high-temperature environments such as engine compartments. Their high-temperature variants support up to 150°C, providing reliable protection for critical connections exposed to heat and fluid contact.

• Specialty Equipment: Mining vehicles and oilfield machinery often encounter corrosive materials and harsh conditions. AMPSEAL 16 connector backshells provide sealing and strain relief, helping to extend the lifespan of sensitive electronics while helping reduce costly downtime for repairs.
