Shield Bond Connector Designed to make a stable, low-resistance electrical connection between the shield of a communications cable and a conductor such as a strap, bar, or wire. The connector consists of four parts: lower member (base), upper member (top), and two securing nuts (lock nuts). The base teeth are set at such an angle as to permit easy insertion under the cable shield. Top and base members are made of tin-plated tempered brass, slightly curved to exert a continuous spring force on sheath and shield after clamping.
