Wire Termination — Sta-Kon

Wire Termination & Insulation
Wherever shielded cables and wires are fitted, there is the problem
of finding a permanent, repeatable, safe and quick connection of the
braided shield.
Conventional connection methods use soldering, which is more time-
consuming and more expensive, and can often result in damage to the
dielectric or to the internal shield conductor caused by heat. Moreover,
the use of lead-based soldering methods can be in conflict with the latest
safety regulations.
The Shield-Kon
®
solution from Thomas & Betts involves a crimp technique for
shield termination on shielded cables. The reliability of Shield-Kon
®
terminals
has led to a specification for the aeronautical and space technology industry
and for military applications (MIL-F-21608).
• The one-piece Shield-Kon
®
connector wraps
around the shield and has a specific pocket
for the ground wire
• The two-piece Shield-Kon
®
connector
consists of two sleeves that are
compressed between the shielded
braid and the drain wire
