Installation Instructions

GTN 6XX/7XX AML STC Installation Manual 190-01007-A3
Page 3-20 Rev. 4
The screws (16) used to ground the shields to the shield block must not penetrate too far past the shield
block when installed. If the screws are too long, they could potentially damage the wires going into the
backshell.
Note that a maximum of three ring terminals per screw is allowed for grounding shields to the shield
block. A maximum of two shield drains may be inserted into each ring terminal, meaning that one shield
block grounding screw (16) may accommodate grounding of up to six shield drains. Figure 3-4 shows
how to terminate the shields on the backshell. Note that only two wires are shown for clarity; the actual
installation will utilize more than two wires.
