The SHIELD-KON GSC 5281 VT AUßENHÜLSE shield connection terminal from Lapp is a two-part cable lug, specifically designed for processing shielded cables. It ensures a secure and durable connection for shielded cables with a dielectric diameter between 1.1 mm and 9.4 mm, i.e., the diameter of the cable core after removal of the outer shield. The purple outer sleeve is part of a modular system consisting of a rigid inner sleeve and a soft outer sleeve, where the inner sleeve absorbs the crimping pressure and protects the internal conductors from mechanical stress. The outer sleeve is fixed via a hexagonal crimping, ensuring a reliable electrical and mechanical connection.

Applications
This shield connection terminal is intended for applications in telecommunications and railway sectors, where high requirements exist for signal integrity and mechanical stability of connections. Processing shielded cables requires a precise and tight connection to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure stable data transmission. The specific fit for cables with a dielectric diameter of 1.1 to 9.4 mm makes the connector universally applicable for a wide range of cable types in these industries.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The two-part construction of the SHIELD-KON GSC 5281 VT consists of a rigid inner sleeve, which absorbs the pressure of the crimping tool, and a soft outer sleeve, which is fixed via hexagonal crimping. This design ensures that the internal conductors of the cable are not damaged by the crimping pressure. The purple color of the outer sleeve serves visual identification and is part of the product specification. The inner sleeve is designed for an inner diameter of 7.14 mm, ensuring an exact fit for the specified cable diameters.

Technology Explained Simply
The hexagonal crimping of the soft outer sleeve creates a mechanically stable and electrically conductive connection. The outer sleeve is deformed by the crimping tool in a hexagonal pattern, ensuring even pressure distribution and optimal contact surface between the cable shield and the connector. The rigid inner sleeve absorbs the main part of the crimping pressure, protecting the sensitive internal conductors of the cable. This is particularly important when processing fine or sensitive cables, where damage to the conductors could lead to functional failures.

The connection is made using a suitable crimping tool PEW 12.1427 SK, specifically designed for this connector. Using the correct crimping tool is essential for a proper and durable connection. The purple color of the outer sleeve aids quick identification during work and is part of the product specification.

Compatibility and Accessories
The shield connection terminal is compatible with the crimping tool PEW 12.1427 SK, which is required for processing. The connection is made by crimping, where the exact fit and specific geometry of the connector and crimping tool ensure a secure connection. Processing is typically done with a dedicated crimping tool designed for use with the PEW 12.1427 SK. Compatibility with the crimping tool is crucial for the function and quality of the connection.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by crimping with the appropriate crimping tool PEW 12.1427 SK. To do this, the cable is prepared according to the specified dielectric diameter (1.1 to 9.4 mm), the shield is removed, and the connector is slipped over the cable core. The connector is then processed using the crimping tool, where the rigid inner sleeve absorbs the pressure and the soft outer sleeve is crimped hexagonally. Correct execution requires the use of the specific crimping tool and a suitable tool.

Advantages in Operation
The SHIELD-KON GSC 5281 VT provides a mechanically stable and electrically conductive connection, ensuring signal integrity during operation. The protective function of the rigid inner sleeve prevents damage to the internal conductors, extending the lifespan of the connection. The hexagonal crimping of the outer sleeve ensures a tight and durable connection that remains intact even under mechanical stress. Its use in telecommunications and railway applications demonstrates the product's reliability in demanding environments.
