Abstract
A backshell for connecting screened multi-core cables includes a tubular body portion which in a preferred embodiment includes a plurality of circumferentially arranged holes one of which, in use, receives the free end of an electrically conductive ribbon wound round the wires of the cable and in contact with their individual screens. Rotation of the body portion winds the ribbon around the periphery of the cable until the space is filled, the ribbon being wound externally round the tubular body portion and secured with termination means whereby the individual screens are connected electrically to the backshell. Attachment means facilitate attachment of the backshell either to a cylindrical connector body or to a hollow box member for connection in turn to a rectangular connector body.
