Filed:
Aug 14, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/066780
Inventors:

Abstract:
A crimp-type cable shield bonding device for electrically interconnecting the shields of two sheathed and shielded cables each having an outer protective sheath and an underlying shield which enclose a bundle of conductors. The bonding device includes two tubular clamps respectively connectible to adjacent ends of the two cables. Each tubular clamp comprises a generally semicylindrical outer portion adapted to fit over the outer protective sheath at one end of one of the cables and a generally V-shaped inner portion within such outer portion, with its apex extending toward the outer portion. The inner portion of each tubular clamp is insertable between the shield and the conductors at the corresponding end of the corresponding cable with its apex extending toward the shield. The inner portion of each tubular clamp has teeth extending toward the outer portion of such tubular clamp and adapted to penetrate the shield of the corresponding cable. An electrically conductive member is connected at its ends to the two tubular clamps to establish the desired electrical interconnection between the two cable shields.
