Figure C-1: Example of D-Type Connector Grounding
The two curved parts of the shroud shown in Figure C-1 make contact with the flat
plate of the shroud. Tighten the two remaining scr
ews to ensure a firm fit.
Do not remove the drain wire from the shield.
Do not connect the shield to connector pin 1 in any way.
“D-Type” Connectors
All D-type connectors must use Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielded
shroud. Ensure that a good contact is made when connecting D-type connector
shrouds to cable shields.
Figure C-1 shows a critical contact throughout the 360 deg
rees of the cable’s shield
at the point of entry to the shell. To ensure a good fit, strip back the cable’s ou
tside
layer to reveal the metal shield and extend the shield to the very edge of the metal
shroud’s connector. If the shield does not fit snugly, apply metallic tape to ensure a
firm contact.
