A conductive yoke is provided insertable into a backshell adapter to provide a convenient shielding termination system for grounding braids and shields of conductors in a multiconductor cable to be connected to and grounded at a multipin electrical connector, the yoke providing ease of connection of such braids and shields to it and having direct electrical contact to the grounded surface of the connector.

A lightweight flexible conduit particularly suitable for aircraft applications for shielding electrical wire and cable from electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference. The apparatus including an inner core of elastically deformable flexible tubing having an outside surface of helical corrugations, metalized fabric wrapped around the helical corrugations and post-formed onto the corrugated helix of the core by string, thread, or wire which pulls the fabric down into the base of the continuous trough of the corrugations, and a protective jacket. A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an axial drain wire incorporated into the lamination and running the length of the conduit to provide lower ground path resistance.

A strain relief for electrical fittings includes a body portion having a pair of ends, the first end for attachment to a connector, and the second end having a worm drive clamp for releasable clamping upon a cable. The strain relief may include a flexible boot to provide a sealing function, or a flexible tube of braided shielding wire to provide EMI shielding.

A cable termination system for heavy duty cables having a threaded metallic or plastic shield includes only two members; a termination body and a termination nut, the former having internal threads mating with an internal thread shield of the cable and the latter having rounded internal threads mating with rounded external threads of the termination to clamp at least the outer braids of the cable between the external threads of the termination and the internal threads of the termination nut. The termination body is screwed onto the shield and provides an annular pocket to receive the end of the shield to protect the wires of the cable from burrs and sharp edges at the end of the shield. The internal threads of the termination have a different pitch from those of its external threads whereby the threads bind the termination nut and prevent it from becoming unscrewed from the cable. The termination nut is locked in place by snap rings and its end seats against an O-ring to isolate it from the environment while the other end of the nut engages a projection on the termination body to seat the outer covering of the cable between the two elements of the system.

A shield splice for terminating the individual shields on individual wires in multiple wire bundles includes a generally elongate section of transversely deformable material, preferably fabricated from aluminum or tin plated copper metal. The elongate section is open at each end and has a plurality of longitudinal passages which may be any of a number of geometrical shapes. The exterior surface is surrounded by a stainless steel or plastic tie strap, which may have a preinstalled ground strap. In use, wires with exposed shields are inserted through the passages in the elongate section, and the tie strap is cinched down and tightened, thus crushing the splice material around the individual wire shields and grounding them collectively. A method for grounding multiple internal braid splices is also disclosed.

A cable braid splice for creating a mechanical and electrical junction between two pieces of metal braid covering a single cable is disclosed, including a coiled ribbon spring having a first and second ends, coils at each end wound inwardly towards one another, a joining segment of ribbon interposed between the coils, and a thin pliable "C" clip for placement partially around a cable bundle and underneath overlapping cable braids. A method of using the splice is also disclosed, including the steps of placing a "C" clip over a wire bundle and underneath two opposing layers of braid so as to encompass approximately half the circumference of the cable bundle but leaving a gap on the other half, pulling the braids into an overlapping relationship with one another, pressing down the braids to form a ridge at the location of the clip, and applying the coiled ribbon spring by wrapping the opposing coils several times around the cable and opposing braids on each side of the ridge such that the joining segment of the coil crosses the ridge at the position of the gap in the "C" clip.

A cable connector adapter comprising a segment of tubular elastically deformable flexible conduit, having an outside surface of helical convolutions, connected to a cable connector boot having an integrally formed oval female threaded nut into which the conduit is screwed in a deformed, oval configuration. The conduit is deformed into an oval shape to fit and screw into the oval threaded female nut, said deformation flattening the conduit and adapting it to the generally rectangular shape of the boot and connector, thereby providing the transition in the shape of the bundle of conductors of the cable from round substantially rectangular.
