grounding without damaging shielding

Ideal for applications in which the make-up of the shield
does not easily permit forming over a ground ring, band-

ing platform or other terminating device

Glenair's "G-Spring" backshells provide an innovative method of terminating and grounding over-
all shields, screens and metal foil shielding on wiring harnesses and cables. The G-Spring design
provides a peripheral spring member which compresses against the exposed shield to effect posi-
tive electrical grounding around the entire circumference of the shield. This design is particularly well
suited for applications where disturbance or distortion of the shield is undesirable, or the makeup of
the shield does not easily permit forming over a grounding ring or other termination device. It is
available in both non-environmental and cable jacket sealing versions. An inner support ring inserted
under the shield or screen prevents damage to the wire conductor insulation at the point where the G-
Spring makes contact with the shield.
