The SHIELD-KON GSC 5275 SR OUTER SHELL shield connection terminal from Lapp is a two-part cable lug, specifically designed for processing shielded cables in the fields of telecommunications and railway applications. It serves as an outer shell for shield connection and is used in combination with a matching crimp insert to create a secure electrical and mechanical connection. The construction allows for processing cables with a dielectric diameter between 1.1 mm and 9.4 mm, i.e., after removal of the outer shield. The outer shell is available in silver finish and consists of two parts: a hard, stable inner shell and a soft outer shell that is hexagonally crimped.

Applications
This shield connection terminal is intended for applications in telecommunications and railway systems, where a reliable shield connection is required. It is particularly suitable for processing shielded cables, where electrical shielding plays a crucial role in minimizing interference and ensuring signal quality. Use in railway applications requires high mechanical stability and reliability, which is supported by the product's design.

Functions and Features in Detail
The hard inner shell absorbs the crimping pressure and protects the internal conductors from mechanical stress. This prevents damage to the conductors and ensures a long-term stable connection. The soft outer shell is hexagonally crimped, ensuring a flawless electrical and mechanical connection. The hexagonal shape ensures even distribution of crimping force and prevents cracks or insufficient contacts. The inner diameter of the outer shell is 6.98 mm, enabling compatibility with a wide range of cable diameters.

Technology Explained Simply
The shield connection terminal operates on the principle of crimping, where the cable is pressed into the shell using a special tool (crimp insert). The two-part construction, consisting of a hard inner shell and a soft outer shell, enables optimal distribution of crimping force. The inner shell protects the conductors, while the outer shell establishes the electrical connection to the shield. The hexagonal crimping of the outer shell ensures a secure, durable connection that remains intact even under mechanical stress.

Compatibility and Accessories
The shield connection terminal is compatible with the crimp insert PEW 12.1427 SK. This insert is required to ensure the correct shape and crimping force during processing. Using a different crimp insert may result in an inadequate connection. The outer shell is designed for cables with a dielectric diameter of 1.1 to 9.4 mm, enabling broad applicability. The silver finish is typical for metallic shield connections and provides good electrical conductivity.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed in combination with the matching crimp insert PEW 12.1427 SK. The cable is inserted into the outer shell after removal of the outer shield, ensuring the dielectric diameter falls within the specified range of 1.1 to 9.4 mm. The shell is then crimped using the crimp insert. The hexagonal shape of the outer shell ensures even distribution of crimping force. The hard inner shell protects the conductors from mechanical stress during the crimping process.

Operational Advantages
The shield connection terminal offers high mechanical stability and a reliable electrical connection. The hexagonal crimping of the outer shell ensures a durable, crack-free connection that remains intact under load. The hard inner shell protects the internal conductors, extending the connection's service life. Compatibility with a wide diameter range of 1.1 to 9.4 mm enables flexible use in various applications. The silver finish ensures good electrical conductivity, which is essential for signal transmission in telecommunications and railway applications.
