Grounding arrangement and method for a shielded cable

摘要

A method is provided for forming a grounding arrangement on a shielded cable which includes a conductive core, a core insulation layer, a conductive shield layer, and an outer insulation layer. An inner ferrule is positioned adjacent an end portion of the conductive shield layer that has been exposed, the inner ferrule is crimped around the core insulation layer, and the end portion is folded over the inner ferrule to radially surround the inner ferrule. An electrically conductive outer ferrule is positioned radially adjacent to the end portion and the outer ferrule is crimped radially around the inner ferrule to capture the end portion radially between the inner ferrule and the outer ferrule, thereby fixing the outer ferrule in electrical contact with the conductive shield layer.

1. A method for forming a grounding arrangement on a shielded cable that includes a conductive core, a core insulation layer radially surrounding said conductive core, a conductive shield layer radially surrounding said core insulation layer, and an outer insulation layer radially surrounding said conductive shield layer, said method comprising:
removing a length of said outer insulation layer to expose an end portion of said conductive shield layer; providing an inner ferrule configured to be crimped around said core insulation layer; positioning said inner ferrule adjacent to said end portion of said conductive shield layer that has been exposed; crimping said inner ferrule around said core insulation layer; folding said end portion of said conductive shield layer that has been exposed over said inner ferrule to radially surround said inner ferrule; providing an electrically conductive outer ferrule configured to be crimped around said inner ferrule; positioning said outer ferrule radially adjacent to said end portion of said conductive shield layer that has been positioned to radially surround said inner ferrule; and crimping said outer ferrule radially around said inner ferrule to capture said end portion of said conductive shield layer radially between said inner ferrule and said outer ferrule, thereby fixing said outer ferrule in electrical contact with said conductive shield layer.
