General
Shield contactable diameter	7 ... 16 mm
Scope of delivery	Shield clamp with locknut included

The article 790-116 from WAGO is a shield clamp bracket, specifically designed for secure and reliable connection of shielded cables in industrial applications. It serves as a mechanical and electrical connection point for shielded cables, where the shield is directly connected to the cable shield via the bracket. The width of the bracket is 19 mm, making it suitable for standard installations in enclosures and control systems. The contactable shield diameter ranges from 7 to 16 mm, enabling use with a variety of cable diameters. The connection is made using a knurled screw, included in the delivery, ensuring a secure and mechanically stable connection.

Applications
The shield clamp bracket 790-116 is used in industrial electrical engineering, particularly in control and automation technology, where shielding of signal and data lines against electromagnetic interference is required. It is suitable for applications in enclosures where shielded cables must be connected to devices or connection elements. It is typically used in combination with other clamping or connection elements also available in the WAGO series 790.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The bracket enables a direct and permanent electrical connection between the shield of a cable and the shield connection of a device or rail. The included knurled screw ensures a mechanically secure connection and prevents loosening under vibration or mechanical stress. The contact surface is dimensioned to securely accommodate shield diameters from 7 to 16 mm, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and mechanical stability. The 19 mm width corresponds to the standard for mounting in enclosures and allows easy integration into existing systems.

Technology Explained Simply
A shield clamp bracket like the 790-116 serves electrical shielding of cables. The shield, usually made of a metallic braid, is connected via the bracket to the shield connection of a device or rail. This creates a closed electrical circuit for shielding, minimizing interference in signal or data transmission. The knurled screw ensures that the shield is not only mechanically but also electrically securely connected. The use of such a bracket is particularly important in environments with high electromagnetic interference, which are common in industrial settings.

Compatibility and Accessories
The shield clamp bracket 790-116 is compatible with various accessories from the WAGO series 790, particularly with busbars such as the 790-134 or 790-133, which are also designed for 10x3 mm cross-section. It can be used together with mounting brackets such as the 790-100 or 790-101, as well as carriers such as the 790-112 or 790-114, to ensure stable mounting in enclosures. Use with busbar brackets such as the 790-190, 790-191, 790-192, or 790-193 enables flexible integration into existing control systems. The support rail 790-145 features a special perforation suitable for mounting elements like the 790-116.

Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done by securing the shield clamp bracket to a suitable rail or carrier, with the knurled screw providing a secure connection. The cable shield is inserted into the bracket and tightened with the screw. The 19 mm width allows easy mounting in standard enclosures. The connection must be executed so that the shield is fully and without gaps contacted, ensuring effective shielding. The use of matching mounting and support elements from series 790 ensures proper and stable installation.

Advantages in Operation
The shield clamp bracket 790-116 provides a reliable and durable connection for shielded cables. The integrated knurled screw ensures secure fastening, even under mechanical stress. Compatibility with various accessories from series 790 enables flexible and modular installation. Simple mounting and the standard width of 19 mm facilitate integration into existing control systems. Effective shielding is ensured, improving signal quality in industrial applications.
