22.2.7 Daisy Chain between Methods A and B
In rare situations where more braids need to be terminated for a connector than three per ring terminal and
a mixture of Methods A and B have been used, it is allowable to daisy chain a maximum of two shields
together from a Method A termination to a Method B (Figure 22-7). All other restrictions and instructions
for the shield termination technique set forth for Method A and B are still applicable.
NOTE
The maximum length of the combined braids should be approximately 4 inches.

22.2.8 ID Program Pins (Strapping)
ID Program Pins provide a ground reference used by the hardware as a means of configuration for system
identification. The following instructions will illustrate how this ground strapping should be accomplished
with the Jackscrew Backshell:
1. Cut a 4 inch length of 22 AWG insulated wire.
WARNING
Flat Braid is not permitted for this purpose. Use only insulated wire to avoid inadvertent
ground issues that could occur from exposed conductors.
2. Strip back approximately 0.17 inches of insulation and crimp a contact (item 6, Figure 22-3
) to the
4” length of 22 AWG insulated wire. It is the responsibility of the installer to find the proper length
of insulation to be removed. Wire must be visible in the inspection hole after crimping and the
insulation must be 1/64 – 1/32 inches from the end of the contact as shown in Figure 22-3
.
3. Insert newly crimped pins and wires into the appropriate connector housing location as specified
by the installation wiring diagrams.
4. At the end opposite the pin on the 22 AWG insulated wire strip back 0.2 inches of insulation.
5. Terminate this end using the ring terminals with the other Flat Braid per Steps 8 through 11
(Section 22.2.3
) pertaining to shield termination. If this ground strap is the only wire to terminate,
attach a Ring terminal, #8, insulated, 18-22 AWG (MS25036-149).
