5.10 Replacing EMI Cables
EMI cables are ribbon cables modified with braided shielding and ground lugs. When
replacing, be sure each ground lug is fastened to a ground connection, usually to the
ground plane of the PCB at that end. Use a star washer between the ground lug and the
ground plane. Be sure the ground lug does not short out any component on the PCB.
When dressing the cables, be sure the braided shield does not come in contact with any
electrical component or voltage source.
