Cable connector shell improves electrostatic and electromagnetic shielding by electrically connecting cable braid around entire circumference. Connector cable braid is slipped over ferrule and sleeve is slipped over braid, clamping it tightly to shell. Connector shell completely shields cable conductors.
Gage monitors riveting forces applied when components are mounted on printed-circuit boards. Correct swaging pressures have been established for specific substrate materials such as phenolics and ceramics.
Release mechanism for actuation of automatic device operates on system of restrained energy force, which is automatically released by electrical charge that may be applied by manual switch or, in remote application, by RF impulse, received by conventional electronic circuitry.
