Amphenol Shrink Boot Adapters
AMPHENOL SHRINK BOOT ADAPTER
Amphenol shrink boot adapter is a good option when the unshielded cables are terminated with heat shrink boots. It has a groove where the boot lip can be held which provides good grip apart from sufficient space inside for the cable looping.
Using the heat shrink boot is one way of providing environmental protection and strain relief to cable termination. Using a suitable adapter is essential here to ensure the repairability. Amphenol shrink boot adapter is designed to provide excellent characteristics in all these parameters.

AMPHENOL SHRINK BOOT ADAPTER ASSEMBLY TORQUE VALUES
AMPHENOL SHRINK BOOT ADAPTER STYLE-2 CONFIGURATION
Some design consideration will require bigger diameter cable to be terminated in the smaller shell size connectors. Cable with heavy/thicker shielding, many wires for different branches/ routing are some of the examples. Such cable termination will require a bigger adapter body with cable entry dimensions more than the connector rear side dimensions Amphenol also supports this kind of application. The coupling end of the adapter will be modified to Style-2 design as shown in the figure below in such cases. The overall length of the Style-2 design adapters would be increased by approx. 1 inch (25.mm) as shown. This alternative design is applicable for all the Backshell Families listed in this catalog.
