Material and Finish
Shields—See charts
Cable Clamp—Steel, nickel plated
Screws—Steel, zinc plated
These Two-Piece Shields are
used to protect connectors
from dust, dirt and physical
damage and to provide
strain relief for the contacts.
They feature integral cable
clamps formed at 180° and
90° and are available in long
and short versions. Long versions
offer pin protection as
well as connector protection
and strain relief. Short versions
may be used in
combination with Pin Hoods
to provide pin protection.
For shielding and fastening
applications, Two-Piece
Shields are used with
Jackscrews. They may be
secured to a connector
housing using other appropriate
hardware such as
Guide Pins and Sockets.
Two-Piece Shields with cable
clamps formed at 45° are
available, see page 87.
