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 connector accessory for electrical connectors containing a detent or locking member or members for preventing disconnection from an attached connector when the assembly is subjected to vibration, shock or other stresses. The accessory consists of a coupling and a body containing the accessory which in one form is a detent and in another form serves as a detent in one direction of rotation and a permanent or temporary lock in the other direction of rotation. The coupling is provided with screw threads to engage an accessory thread at the rear of an electrical connector and the body contains features which are required to provide proper mechanical and environmental interface characteristics to mate with various electrical connectors, i. e. , teeth, splines, seals, etc. When the accessory is mated to an electrical connector, the rotation of the coupling is restricted by a spring and tooth mechanism interfacing between the coupling and the body to prevent the coupling from counter-rotating and allowing the accessory to become loosened or separate from the back of the connector.

Flexible electrical shielding conduit and method for making same wherein the conduit comprises multiple layers including a flexible conduit tubing outer layer, an electrical shielding layer disposed within the tubing and in contact with the conduit layer, and a woven retaining layer inside the shielding layer, said woven retaining layer expanding radially outwardly when compressed axially continuously forcing the shielding layer into contact with the conduit tubing to provide an unobstructed passageway therethrough. An alternative embodiment and the method for making same wherein the electrical shielding layer and the retaining layer are combined to form an integral inner layer having the properties as described above.
