3M ABS Straight D-Sub Backshell, 20 Way, Strain Relief, Beige, Nickel Plating, 103 Series 10320-3210-000

The 3M 10320-3210-000 ABS Straight D-Sub Backshell is designed to provide robust mechanical protection and strain relief for electronic round ribbon cable connections, supporting up to 20 contacts. The ABS plastic housing is highly resistant to chemical exposure and abrasion, safeguarding internal wiring across commercial, industrial, and office environments.

This backshell incorporates a metal shell interior finished in nickel plating, which ensures optimal electrical conductivity and provides effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, preventing disruptions and maintaining reliable signal and power transmission.

The straight cable exit configuration helps minimize cable stress, facilitates easier cable management, and reduces the chance of damage from mechanical movement or vibration. Integrated strain relief features actively preserve cable integrity during installation and operation.

Quick release latching mechanisms streamline installation and maintenance, allowing for fast connection and disconnection when configuring or servicing equipment. The casing is heat resistant and insulated so that in the event of a short circuit, any damage is contained and isolated, protecting adjacent electronic components.

Designed for use with round ribbon cables and compatible with IDC plugs such as stock number 163-3285, this backshell is suitable for D-sub connector systems common in computing, robotics, multimedia, industrial electronics, commercial networks, and laboratory applications.

As part of the 3M 103 Series Mini Delta Ribbon (MDR) product range, this backshell meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements and features options for quick release latching or thumb screws based on sub-part variations. The combination of plastic shielding and a two-piece metal junction shell enhances connectivity, durability, and signal integrity in high-density wiring environments.

Provides secure strain relief for D-sub connectors. ABS plastic body ensures resistance to chemicals and abrasion. Nickel plated housing interior delivers optimal conductivity and EMI shielding. Straight cable exit design simplifies cable management and reduces maintenance needs.

Features quick release latching for fast installation and removal. Compatible with 20-way round ribbon cable termination. Heat resistant insulated casing prevents short circuit damage from spreading.

This backshell is ideal for use in industrial, laboratory, commercial, and office equipment requiring reliable, high-density cable terminations and connector stability. Explore 3M's complete connector and backshell portfolio for more specialized solutions at EnvMart.
