Glenairs’ ready-to-use shield sock adapters take the pain out of EMI shield termination and the backshells accept shrink boots for additional environmental and mechanical protection.

Aerco supplies these adapters that have a shield sock attached to the rear of the adapter body, the method of shield attachment is usually acomplished by means of crimping although other methods such as Band-it® band, soldering, magna-forming or Tinel® locking system can also all supplied.  This shield sock is then attached to the overall braid on the cable or harness. This attachment is most generally performed by the use of a MIL-C-85049/93 back-up ring and then banding the over-lapped braids together. Lipped-type heat shrinkable boots are available to enclose and protect the termination.
