Standard Method
Use the standard method
when the shielded cable
or the inner conductors are
embedded in a dielectric.
Fold-Back Method 1
If there is no common
dielectric for several interior
cables but the gaps are
filledby textile threads
orsomething similar, care
should be taken to ensure
that the insulating thick ness
of the individual cables is not
less than .38mm for PVC,
and not less than .25mm
for Teflon. If this insulation
thickness falls below this
value, Fold-Back Method 1
should be used.
Fold-Back Method 2
Fold-Back Method 2 should
be used if the cable shield
is applied spirally or if
afoilshield is being used.
Installation Methods
Installation Procedure
Connector opening faces
away from tool
Step 3
Select the appropriate die set for the
crimp tool, according to the size of
the shielded cable (see page G-80)
and mount the dies on the tool.
Insert the connector (with the shielded
cable and the ground wire) between
the dies of the tool.
Squeeze the tool handles firmly to crimp
the connector around
the shielding and
the ground wire.

Step 1
Prepare shielded wire and ground wire insulation as shown.
If two ground wires are required in a Shield-Kon
®
connection,
twist both conductors before insertion into the connector.
Step 2
Select the appropriate connector according to the size of the shielded
cable (see page G-80). Place the ground wire around the trap hook and
the shielded wire into the bottom of the connector.
When inserting the shielded cable and grounding wire, care must be taken
to ensure that their insulation is overlapped by the connector’s Polyester
insulation film.
100% insulation is possible after crimping when the stripped length
of outer jacket (visible shielding) is
7
⁄16" (11mm) maximum.
