ABSTRACT:
A mass termination device for terminating a plurality of shielded cables to a connector, the device insuring continuity of the electromagnetic shielding into the connector. The device utilizes a pair of complementary busbar-type grounding members, each having a connector shell contact portion and having a plurality of laterally extending complementary mating semicircular elements, the elements to be clamped onto the shielding braids of cables to be connected so as to substantially surround each individual shielding braid. The device preferably further includes apertures in the semicircular elements of at least one of the busbar-type grounding members. Fusible material is juxtapositioned with respect to the apertures and individual heat-recoverable tubes surround the fusible material and the mating pairs of semicircular elements. A heat-recoverable boot surrounds the pair of busbar-type grounding members, the tubes and the fusible inserts. The grounding members are clamped about cables and the connector shell. Upon application of heat, the heat-recoverable boot and the tubes will recover to encapsulate the pair of busbar-type grounding members and the fusible material will melt and fuse the busbar-type grounding members to the shielding braids of cables positioned therebetween.
