Evaluation of Optimized Shield Termination Device (Trident Spring Band ISOTDSI through 4)

Abstract

For over three decades, wire harnesses have used steel bands for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield terminations employed in various aerospace applications. The first program to employ the current configuration shield termination was the B-1B Lancer starting in 1984. The typical metallic shield is made up of woven tin, nickel, or silver plated stranded copper wrapped around the wires in the bundle. The EMI shield usually requires 90% optical coverage to ensure that the effects of EMI will not adversely affect the wires inside the wire bundle (A-A-59569 braid wire). The designer of the Electrical Wiring and Interconnect System (EWIS) for that application determines the requirement based on the intended mission, environment, or purpose of the air vehicle (MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464).
