Abstract:
A method of fabricating a shielded cable-connector assemblage (8) which comprises at least one cable (10) that includes, conductors (12) a braided metal shield (14), and an outer mantle (16), and which further comprises a connector (22), said method comprising the steps of.folding a part of the braided metal shield (14) back over the outer mantle (16) of the cable;twisting a part of the backwardly folded braided metal shield (14) so as to obtain a connection lead (18) that projects out from said braided metal shield (14);mounting a shielding element (20) so as to cover the whole of the junction between the backwardly folded braided metal shield (14); and the conductors (12); and so as to be in electrical contact with the braided metal shield (14), while leaving part of the connection lead (18) exposed;fitting a connector (22) to each cable (10) to form a cable-connector assembly;soldering the exposed part of the connecting lead (18) to the shielding element (20);fixedly mounting each cable-connector assembly (10), (22) in a moulding device; andmoulding a strain relieving element (28) such as to fill the space between the cable (10) and the connector (22) and to fixate said cable and conductor in relation to one another.
