Based on the part number **507T175E10002**, this component belongs to the **M83513 (Micro-D)** series of high-density connectors, typically manufactured by companies like **Glenair**. These connectors are engineered for high-reliability applications where space and weight are critical. ### 1. Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric code follows a specific MIL-DTL-83513 standard logic: | Segment | Code | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | 507 | Micro-D Backshell / Accessory Series | | **Type** | T | Top Entry (Cable exit direction) | | **Size/Shell** | 175 | Specific dimensions relating to contact count (likely 9-15 pins) | | **Finish** | E | Chem Film / Alodine (Conductive finish) | | **Hardware** | 10002 | Specific screw/mounting hardware configuration | --- ### 2. Technical Specifications These parts are designed for extreme environments. Below are the typical characteristics of a 507 series Micro-D backshell: * **Material:** High-grade Aluminum Alloy. * **Function:** Provides strain relief and EMI/RFI shielding for Micro-D connectors. * **Entry Style:** **Top Entry**, meaning the wires exit straight out the back of the connector rather than at a 45° or 90° angle. * **Shielding:** The "E" finish provides low electrical resistance, ensuring the backshell can ground the cable shield effectively to prevent electromagnetic interference. --- ### 3. Common Applications Because of their rugged nature and small footprint, these parts are found in: * **Aerospace:** Satellite wiring and flight control systems. * **Defense:** Man-portable radios, UAVs, and missile guidance. * **Medical:** High-end imaging equipment. * **Industrial:** Downhole drilling sensors and robotics. --- ### 4. Installation Considerations When working with the **507T175E10002**, keep the following in mind: 1. **Torque Settings:** Use calibrated torque drivers to prevent stripping the small hardware. 2. **EMI Continuity:** Ensure the cable braid is properly captured under the saddle bars or within the backshell for full 360° shielding. 3. **Mating:** This backshell must match the exact shell size of the Micro-D connector it is being attached to.
