Abstract
A method for crimping an electrical cable with a shielding braid and an insulation enclosing the shielding braid includes removing the insulation at a predetermined area to expose an exposed portion of the shielding braid. The method includes crimping an inner crimp sleeve onto the insulation adjacent to the predetermined area and then bending back the exposed portion of the shielding braid at least sectionally over the inner crimp sleeve.
Claims18
A method for crimping an electrical cable with a shielding braid and an insulation enclosing the shielding braid, comprising:
- removing the insulation at a predetermined area to expose an exposed portion of the shielding braid;
- crimping an inner crimp sleeve onto the insulation adjacent to the predetermined area;
- and
- bending back the exposed portion of the shielding braid at least sectionally over the inner crimp sleeve.
An electrical cable, comprising:
- a shielding braid;
- and
- an insulation enclosing the shielding braid, the insulation is removed at a predetermined area and an exposed portion of the shielding braid is exposed;
- and
- an inner crimp sleeve crimped onto the insulation adjacent to the predetermined area, the exposed portion of the shielding braid is bent back at least sectionally over the inner crimp sleeve.
A kit, comprising:
- a pair of electrical cables each having an electrical conductor, the electrical conductors of the electrical cables have different conductor diameters, the electrical cables each have a shielding braid and an insulation enclosing the shielding braid;
- and
- a pair of identically constructed inner crimp sleeves, one of the inner crimp sleeves is crimped onto an area of the electrical cable having a larger conductor diameter that is exposed from the insulation and the other of the inner crimp sleeves is crimped onto the insulation of the electrical cable having a smaller conductor diameter.
