Attachment ring for attaching a shield of an electrical cable to backshell

摘要

An attachment ring (16) is provided for attaching a shield (18) of an electrical cable (12) to a backshell (14). The attachment ring includes an annular body (26) including a shape memory material that is heat recoverable. The body is configured to extend at least partially around the shield and a fitting (24) of the backshell to hold the shield on the fitting in contact with the fitting. The body includes a first segment (28) including an end (50) having a connection member (58a). The body also includes a second segment (30) that is discrete from the first segment. The second segment includes an end (54) having a connection feature (60a). The connection feature of the second segment is interlocked with the connection member of the first segment to connect the first and second segments together at the ends such that the first and second segments define at least a portion of a length of the body.
