High-Performance Backshell Solutions for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and MIL-DTL-26482 Series I Connectors
We’re excited to announce the release of our new LMA backshell catalogue, which brings together our comprehensive range of high-performance connector backshells in one easy-to-navigate resource. Designed and manufactured in the UK, this catalogue highlights the form, fit, and function of each backshell style, along with detailed technical specifications and part number references.
Why Backshells Matter
Backshells play a crucial role in connector assemblies. They serve as the transition interface between the connector body and the cable, providing:
- Environmental sealing
- Strain relief
- EMI/RFI shielding (where applicable)
This ensures the integrity, reliability, and durability of the entire connector-to-cable interface, especially in demanding environments.
What’s Inside the Catalogue?
Our latest catalogue includes our recently expanded LMA range, offering solutions such as:
- EMI/RFI shielding backshells - LMA19 Range
- Cable clamp strain relief backshells - LMA69 Range
- Low profile and standard heat shrink boot backshells - LMA67 Range and LMA79 Range
- Extended adaptors for fibre optic connectors - LMA20 Range and LMA23 Range
Each style is presented with detailed information on function, materials, finishes, and compatible connector series.

The LMA backshell range is based on AS85049/M85049 specifications and is available in a variety of materials, including:
- Aluminium
- Marine nickel-aluminium bronze
