3.3 Backshell Assembly

The GRA 5500 connector kit includes a circular strain relief assembly. The circular strain relief gives the
installer the ability to quickly and easily terminate shields. In non-Garmin Integrated Flight Deck (retrofit)
installations, the Garmin circular configuration module may also be attached to the strain relief (see
Figure
B-2). Refer to the document Circular Connector (and Configuration Module) Installation
Instructions (190-00313-12) for circular connector installation.
