Abstract
A device and a system for electrically coupling a cable with shielding to an electrical ground as it passes through a bulkhead. The device includes an elastic, electrically conducting metal pad securely coupled to a section of the cable shielding within the bulkhead. An electrically conductive connection terminal is connected to the pad. A contact spring for connecting the connection terminal to the electrical ground is provided, wherein the cable shielding is grounded as it passes through the bulkhead. The pad, the connection terminal and the contact spring are supported within a molded bulkhead module. Multiple bulkhead modules are packed into a clamping frame with the contact springs being electrically coupled to a grounded contact bar.
Claims16
A device for electrically coupling a cable with shielding to an electrical ground as it passes through a bulkhead, the device comprising:
- an elastic, electrically conducting metal pad securely coupled to a section of the cable shielding within the bulkhead;
- an electrically conductive connection terminal connected to said pad;
- a contact spring for connecting said connection terminal to the electrical ground, wherein the cable shielding is grounded as it passes through the bulkhead.
A device for electrically coupling a cable with shielding to an electric ground without disturbances as it passes through bulkheads and screen walls, the device comprising:
- an elastic, electrically conducting metal pad permanently and uninterruptably connecting the cable shielding to the electric ground;
- an electrically-conductive connection terminal connected to said pad;
- and
- a contact spring for additionally connecting said electrically-conductive connection terminal to the electric ground.
