Rotationally configurable backshell for an electrical connector

摘要

A backshell (60) for an electrical assembly (50) is provided. The backshell includes a shield termination body (114) having a connector end (116) and a relief end (118). The connector end is configured to join to a cable end (56) of an electrical connector (52). A face (117) of the connector end is oriented at an angle with respect to a face (121) of the relief end. A strain relief (124) is provided having a shield end (128) and a cable clamp end (126). A face (129) of the shield end is oriented at an angle with respect to a face (125) of the cable clamp end. The shield end is rotatably coupled to the relief end of the shield termination body. The shield end of the strain relief is rotatable with respect to the relief end of the shield termination body so that the face of the cable clamp end of the strain relief is positionable at variable angles with respect to the face of the connector end of the shield termination body.
