MIL-DTL-38999 SERIES III SCREEN TRAPTM BACKSHELLS
Originally designed, and proven by TT electronics New Chapel Electronics, the
trademarked ‘Screen Trap’ backshell is now adapted for use with all MIL-DTL-38999
Series III connectors. The concept is contained in patents, GB2427079B, GB2427080B,
GB2427081B and subject of other patent applications.
This series of adapters provides a simplified method of grounding over all shields. The
shield/braid is secured between a male and female thread providing a good bonding
joint. No additional tooling is required to terminate Screen TrapTM backshells.
Simple but effective EMI/RFI and environmental protection.
Market Segments
Adoption in high reliability applications including traditional applications
associated with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connectors
Applications
Defence
Surveillance systems
Thermal imaging
Aerospace
Fixed wing
Rotary wing
Landing gear
Missile systems
Features
No tooling required for assembly
Grounded backshell, shield termination, environmental sealing and mechanical strain relief
Tested to the American Specification AS85049 for connector backshells
Base materials & finishes
Aluminium Cad, Electroless Nickel, Nickel PTFE, Zinc Cobalt
Passivated Stainless Steel (not in AS85049)
Our advantage
All Screen Trap™ adaptors are capable of terminating single, double or optimised
screens thereby making the Screen-Trap™ ideal where RFI, EMI, EMP, Tempest or HIRF conditions apply.
Not widely promoted by competition that may prefer to offer more their own designs, ie Constant Force Springs, Tinel Ring, Banding Style
Lower material cost than Banding Style termination
Fast termination and therefore lower installation cost than other technologies
Ease of repair
