GENERAL DIRECT SUPPORT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
NOTE
(For an elbow backshell) When threading the backshell onto the front adapter, hold
the connector so that the connector barrel key is positioned at the top of the
backshell. The bottom of the backshell is the threaded end of the backshell. The
top of the backshell is opposite the bottom. Make sure the barrel key stays at the
top until the backshell is threaded completely onto the front adapter.
d. Apply antiseizing tape to the threads of the front adapter and thread the backshell onto
the front adapter.
e. Slide the inner ground ring into the threaded end of the backshell.
f. Slide the shield braid over the tapered end of the inner ground ring until it reaches all the
way up to the wide end of the taper.
g. Slide the outer ground ring over the inner ground ring.
h. Apply antiseizing tape to the threads of the backshell.
i. Slide the back adapter over both ground rings and thread the adapter onto the backshell.
NOTE
When sliding the grommet into the back adapter, make sure that the cable
sheathing passes through the grommet. If it does not, and the exposed shield
braid braid extends back into the grommet, the connection must be taken apart
and remade.
j.
Slide the grommet into the threaded end of the back adapter.
k.
Slide the follower onto the rear of the grommet.
l.
Apply antiseizing tape to the threads of the back adapter and thread the strain relief onto
the adapter.
