Key Benefits
AMPSEAL 16 Connector Backshells
- Better harness routing in tight packaging
The 90° backshell kit uses a rotating elbow so you can point the harness without forcing a sharp bend at the connector rear.
- Strain relief features at the rear wire exit
Smooth exit backshells include tie wrap slots that help stabilize the bundle near the connector.
- Conduit ready options for abrasion management
Corrugated tubing exit backshells accept a range of conduit sizes so conduit can nest into the backshell outlet.
- Options across the AMPSEAL 16 connector family
Backshell kits support common AMPSEAL 16 plug and cap arrangements in 2 to 12 positions.
- Simpler BOM control
The catalog highlights an Alias part numbering approach that helps identify plug or cap, position count, and conduit option.
Select a Backshell in 4 Steps

Real World Applications
AMPSEAL 16 Connector Backshells
Engine bay harness routing
Use angled or low profile backshell options when the harness needs an immediate turn and you want to reduce stress at the rear exit.
Frame rail and underbody junctions
Corrugated tubing exit backshells support conduit routing where splash, debris, and abrasion are common.
Transmission and hydraulic area harness nodes
Backshells can help stabilize wire bundles in high vibration areas where harness movement can load the rear exit.
Agriculture and construction equipment
Use backshell kits where washdown, dust, and vibration are part of daily duty cycle and cable routing needs to stay controlled.
Serviceable harness breakpoints
Smooth exit designs with tie wrap slots help keep bundles organized when connectors are unplugged and reconnected during service.

Frequently Asked Questions
AMPSEAL 16 Connector Backshells
Q: What is an AMPSEAL 16 connector backshell?
A: It is a snap on accessory that mounts to the rear of an AMPSEAL 16 connector and helps guide the harness exit. Smooth exit designs include tie wrap slots, and corrugated exits support conduit based routing.
Q: What is the difference between 180° and 90° backshell kits?
A: 180° kits route the harness straight out of the connector rear. 90° kits route the harness to the side and use an elbow design that supports 360° rotation.
Q: What does low profile mean for the 90° option?
A: The catalog lists a low profile right angle backshell kit type. Engineers typically use it when space around the connector is limited and the harness still needs a side exit.
Q: How do I choose smooth wire exit versus corrugated tubing exit?
A: Choose smooth wire exit when you are bundling wires with tie wraps near the connector. Choose corrugated tubing exit when the harness uses conduit for routing and abrasion management.
Q: What conduit sizes are supported?
A: The catalog Alias system lists NC08/NW7.5, NC12/NW10, NC16/NW13, and NC20/NW17 as conduit options. Match the backshell outlet to your conduit size.
Q: What temperature range applies to these backshells?
A: The TE category page lists an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C for this backshell family.
Q: Do backshells change ingress protection rating?
A: Backshells add rear side coverage and cable management features. Overall ingress protection depends on the full connector configuration and how rear protection is applied in the harness.
Q: How do I request samples for a backshell kit?
A: Select a backshell part number from the product list on this page. Open the part detail page and use the sample request option when it is available for that part.
