SOLDERLESS SHIELD TERMINATION IN SECONDS
The two-piece Shield-Kon connector consists of two sleeves compressed between the shielded braid and cable jacket, creating a secure, low-resistance connection without heat or power.
This innovative crimp technique eliminates the need for soldering, brazing, or other time-consuming termination methods while providing superior reliability. The one-piece wraparound design wraps around the cable shield, allowing technicians to complete shield terminations in seconds. As part of ABB's Installation Products division, Shield-Kon connectors deliver proven performance in industrial, commercial, and instrumentation applications.
Shield-Kon's proven reliability has made it the preferred choice for applications requiring proper shield grounding and low-resistance connections. The crimp termination creates a gas-tight connection that maintains signal integrity and prevents electromagnetic interference. Available in multiple sizes to accommodate various cable diameters, Shield-Kon connectors work with most conventionally shielded cables. The system requires specialized crimping tools to ensure proper compression and optimal electrical contact between the shield braid and connector.
IDEAL FOR CRITICAL SIGNAL AND CONTROL APPLICATIONS
Shield-Kon connectors are ideal for instrumentation cables, control circuits, data transmission lines, and any application requiring proper shield grounding. The low-resistance connection maintains signal integrity in sensitive electronic systems where electromagnetic interference can compromise performance. Industries including manufacturing automation, process control, telecommunications, and building management systems rely on Shield-Kon for dependable shield termination.
The connector's design accommodates the most common shielded cable constructions, making it versatile for various installation requirements. Whether terminating single cables or multiple conductors in control panels, Shield-Kon provides consistent, reliable performance. The solderless design eliminates the safety hazards and skill requirements associated with torch brazing or soldering, while reducing installation time and labor costs. This makes Shield-Kon particularly valuable in high-volume installations or retrofit projects where speed and reliability are essential.
