8.3.6 Crimp the contacts on, load the connector and assemble the grommet as per the
instructions on pages 7 to 11 inclusive.
Installation of Contacts Through Grommet
8.3.6
Interweave the knitted mesh either between each individual cable screen or around
each multi-core outer screen, and finally around the outside of the wire bundle. This
should be over the braid, near the insulation, as shown on the previous page.
8.3.8
Secure the knitted mesh with an appropriate tinned copper wire.
8.3.9
Slide braid sock / RFI adaptor assembly forward over grommet and screw the adaptor
on to the connector. Take care to ensure correct seating of the grommet. Tighten to
recommended torque see Appendix D.
8.3.10 Using a suitable shell holding fixture, gently draw the braid down the wire bundle to
its' full length and terminate the braid over the knit mesh using the band tool as
shown in appendix C.
Hint: Terminating the screen as instructed in 10 above does not allow for any
remakes of the connector. To allow remakes, the wire should be pushed into the
accessory and sock area before applying the band.
This also allows for a degree of linear strain relief on the wires.
