ABSTRACT:
In an electric cable and harness, the harness having a backshell-connector assembly with a hollow cable entry flange at the rear of the backshell, a plurality of cables, each cable having one or more metal conductors within an insulating sleeve and within a flexible metallic tubular shield, the ends of the conductors being uncovered for attachment to the connector, improvements are provided in which the shield tubes or pigtails, are folded back from the uncovered conductor ends, from within the rear flange and around to the outside surface thereof and clamped therearound. Such conductors have extra length or slack within the backshell e.g. helically wind to the connector attachments so that upon pulling the cables against the backshell, the conductors will extend and provide flexible strain relief for the conductors at such connector attachments. Such flexible harness attachment also permits considerable twist between backshell and cable without breaking the individual conductors at or near such attachments and permits small gauge, light weight, conductors to be employed at a considerable weight savings in, e.g. aircraft or space vehicles.
