Instructions For Tape Shielded Cable

2.0 Prepare Cable

  1. Check to be sure cable size fits within kit range as shown in Table 1.
  2. Prepare cable using dimensions shown in Figure 1. BE SURE TO ALLOW FOR DEPTH OF TERMINAL LUG. If necessary to prevent tape shield from unrolling, hold down edge with a single wrap of 3M™ EMI Copper Foil Shielding Tape 1181.

? NOTE: Provide additional 1/4" (6 mm) exposed conductor distance to account for growth during crimping of ALUMINUM lugs or connectors.

? NOTE: It is imperative to remove all remnants of the semi-con layer, even if the semi-con layer comes off as one layer. There should not be any remaining black areas, or particles, on the cable insulation layer.

Figure 1: Cable Preparation Diagram
Shows cable jacket removal. Dimensions indicated are: Jacket Removal Length (1" / 25 mm), Depth Of Terminal Lug + Growth Allowance (6 3/4" / 171 mm), and a section of 2" (51 mm) for the semi-con layer. The diagram illustrates the cable jacket, semi-con layer, and tape shield.

3.0 Install Ground Braid

  1. Select a Scotch® Mastic Strip 2230 from kit and remove white release liners. Using light tension, apply a SINGLE WRAP of mastic around the cable jacket 1/4" (6 mm) from cut edge (Figure 2). Cut off excess.
Figure 2: Mastic Application Diagram
Illustrates applying a single wrap of mastic strip 1/4" (6 mm) from the cut edge of the cable jacket. Shows cable jacket, semi-con, tape shield, and the mastic strip.
  1. Position pre-formed ground braid with short tail over tape shield directly adjacent to cable jacket cut edge. PLEASE NOTE: The ground braid needs to make full contact with the metallic tape shield. Position long tail of ground braid, extending over cable jacket with solder block over mastic strip (Figure 3). Secure ground braid to cable jacket 3 1/2" (89 mm) from cable semi-con edge using vinyl tape (Figure 3).

? NOTE: Position vinyl tape with care, it also serves as a marker for positioning the termination.

Includes labels for: Semi-Con Edge, Tape Shield, Ground Braid, Cable Jacket Edge, Solder Block, 1ST Scotch® Mastic Strip 2230, and Vinyl Tape Marker. The dimension 3 1/2" (89 mm) is indicated.
  1. Wrap ground braid around cable tape shield one complete wrap, trim excess to prevent overlap and secure in place with constant force spring. Wrap spring in same direction as ground braid (Figure 4). Cinch (tighten) the spring after wrapping the final winding.
  2. Select second Scotch® Mastic Strip 2230 from kit and remove white release liners. Apply a second SINGLE WRAP of mastic over solder block on ground braid and previously applied mastic (Figure 4). Cut off excess.

4.0 Install Lug or Connector

  1. Check to insure 3M™ Cold Shrink QT–III Silicone Rubber Termination assembly fits over the selected lug or connector. If lug or connector (Figure 6) will not fit through the termination core, clean the insulation (per Step 5.0) and slide termination on cable before installing lug or connector. DO NOT REMOVE CORE AT THIS TIME.

  1. Position connector or lug and crimp according to manufacturer's directions. Remove excess oxide inhibitor and sharp crimp flashings following crimping.

5.0 Clean Cable Insulation and Lug or Connector Barrel Using Standard Practice

  1. Wipe the cable insulation with one of the solvent saturated pads from the 3M™ Cable Cleaning Preparation Kit CC-2. DO NOT ALLOW SOLVENT TO TOUCH SEMI-CON INSULATION SHIELD!
  2. If abrasive must be used:
    1. Use on insulation only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE ON SEMI-CON INSULATION SHIELD!
    2. Use only aluminum oxide abrasive; grit 120 or finer, included in the 3M™ Cable Cleaning Preparation Kit CC-2.
    3. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.

6.0 Install Termination

Important Packaging Notice

In order to make sure that you receive an undamaged termination, this 3M™ Cold Shrink QT-III Termination is packed with a RED SHIPPING CORE inside of the white core. Please remove the red shipping core BEFORE you install the termination. This shipping core can be recycled with other polypropylene waste. ♻️
