Glenair Non-Environmental EMI/RFI G-Spring Backshells

Glenair Non-Environmental EMI/RFI G-Spring Backshells part numbers start with the 460 part number prefix

G-Spring EMI/RFI backshell provides 360° grounding without damaging shielding.

Ideal for applications in which the make-up of the shield does not easily permit forming over a ground ring, banding platform, or other terminating devices.

Glenair's 'G-Spring' backshells provide an innovative method of terminating and grounding overall 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 positive 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.
