Connecting cable shields

Introduction
● You need the shield connector to contact cable shields (e.g. for analog modules). The shield
connector conducts interference currents on cable shields to ground via the rail. It is not
necessary to contact the shield at where the cable enters the cabinet.
● You attach the shield connection on the terminal block.
● The shield connector consists of a shield contact and a shield terminal.
● The shield connector is automatically connected to the functional earth (FE) of the rail after
installation.
Requirements
● Terminal block
● The shield terminal is suitable for cables with max. ∅ 7 mm each.
