Shielded Cable Preparation
NOTE
Solder sleeves with pre-installed shield drains can be used instead of separate shield terminators (12)
and individual wires (13). A preferred solder sleeve is M83519/2-X series with a pre-installed shield
drain.
Prepare all of the shielded cables using one of the methods shown in figure 4-1. For details of the shield termination to
the connector backshell refer to figure 4-2.
1.
At the end of the shielded cable (11), strip back a 2.5" maximum length of the jacket to expose the braid.
2.
Remove the exposed braid.
3.
Carefully score the jacket 1/4" to 5/16" from the end and remove the jacket to leave the braid exposed.
4.
Connect a 20 or 22 AWG wire (13) to the exposed shield of the prepared cable assembly. Refer to figure 4-1. For
termination techniques refer to AC 43.13-1B.
5.
Slide a shield terminator (12) onto the prepared cable assembly (11).
6.
Connect the shield wire (13) to the shield using a heat gun approved for use with solder sleeves.
7.
Crimp contacts (14) onto the cable wires. Refer to section 4.1.
8.
For the remaining shielded cables, repeat steps 1 through 7 as necessary.
9.
Install a ring terminal (15) onto the cable shield termination wires (13).
