Instructions For Tape Shielded Cable
2.0 Prepare Cable
2.1 Check to be sure cable size fits within kit size range as shown in Table 1 (page 2).
2.2 Prepare cable using dimensions shown in Figure 1. Be sure to allow for depth of terminal lug. Refer to
Table 2 for semi-con cutback dimension. 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 exposed conductor distance to account for growth during crimping of ALUMINUM
lugs or connectors as follows:
Aluminum Connector
Growth Allowance
2 - 350
1/4” (6 mm)
400 - 650
1/2" (13 mm)
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.
