UniLok Braid Termination Rings

Replacement alternative for Tinel-Lock rings

Intrinsic Devices now produces a family of heat shrinkable rings as a drop-in replacement for TE Connectivity (Raychem) Tinel-Lock® rings. These rings are used to terminate cable shielding braids to connector backshells. The backshells, also called adaptors, are machined with a specially textured cylindrical surface where the ring clamps the braid. Various connector accessory manufacturers can supply these backshells.

For the time being, we are offering rings for even entry sizes from 04 to 18 with A and B variants for different braid wire gages. The following documentation is available.

BC Series Braid Termination Rings

We also offer braid termination rings for smaller cable assemblies. Our BC series rings are offered in 02 and 03 entry sizes. The rings can be used for single layers of 36, 38 or 40 AWG braid. The diameter of the fitting is adjusted to suit the wire gage of the braid used in the assembly.
