D-sub Backshell for 15-Position Connectors
The Amphenol CONEC 165X13379X is a two-piece plastic backshell designed for standard 15-pin D-sub connectors, shell size A. It accepts round cable with a 180° exit, making it a straightforward choice for cable assembly overmolding or field termination where the cable runs straight out the back. The black polyester body is unshielded, so this is for signal-level applications where EMI screening is handled elsewhere in the harness. The 4-40 mating screws are the standard thread for D-sub hardware, so this backshell mates directly with any standard 15-pin D-sub connector that accepts 4-40 jackscrews. It also fits high-density 26-position D-sub connectors that share the same shell size A footprint, which broadens the application range beyond the 15-pin count alone.
This backshell fits D-sub connectors with shell size A, which covers both standard 15-position and high-density 26-position connectors. The 180° cable exit means the cable runs straight out the rear, so plan for that in the cable routing — it won't work in a right-angle exit scenario without an adapter. The unshielded plastic body means you rely on the cable shield or an external braid for EMI protection, not the backshell itself. The two-piece design clamps around the cable after termination, which is standard for field-installable backshells. No special tooling beyond a screwdriver for the 4-40 screws is needed for assembly.
