95H3-23-17-2-Z-CC

Overview

The 95H3-23-17-2-Z-CC is a circular connector backshell adapter manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. It belongs to the MIL-DTL-38999 series, designed for high-reliability applications in aerospace and defense environments. The component features a size 9 shell with olive drab cadmium plating on the aluminum alloy housing. It utilizes a straight cable exit configuration with a strain relief clamp mechanism to secure the cable jacket. The adapter provides environmental sealing against dust and moisture when mated with compatible connectors.

Feature Summary

• Provides mechanical strain relief and environmental protection for attached cables
• Constructed from aluminum alloy with corrosion-resistant olive drab cadmium finish
• Features a straight orientation for compact panel-mount installations

Applications

• Aerospace avionics systems requiring MIL-DTL-38999 compatibility
• Defense communication equipment interfaces
• Military radar and navigation system cabling

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix Z-CC matches the required environmental coating and contact type specifications for your assembly. Confirm cable diameter compatibility with the strain relief clamp range before ordering. Check current RoHS status as military-grade components may have exemptions. Ensure the part number aligns with the specific connector shell size and thread style defined in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this adapter only if the application requires a straight backshell configuration for Size 9 MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. Evaluate the need for olive drab cadmium plating based on corrosion resistance requirements versus weight constraints. Consider the cable outer diameter range supported by the clamp to ensure proper retention without damaging the jacket.

Part Context

This component is part of the extensive MIL-DTL-38999 connector ecosystem produced by TE Connectivity. It serves as a critical interface between the connector body and the incoming cable, ensuring mechanical integrity and environmental sealing. The product line supports various plating options and orientations to meet diverse military and industrial standards.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering MIL-DTL-38999 compliant backshells. Verify dimensional interchangeability including thread pitch, flange diameter, and clamp inner diameter. Ensure material compatibility and plating thickness meet the original design specifications.
