Adapter Fundamentals
Types of Adapters
Tinel-Lock Adapters
This termination system
consists of a modified
spin-coupling adapter with
a Tinel-Lock ring. The
Tinel-Lock ring is made
from a special shape
memory metal that shrinks
uniformly when heated
(see Application Tooling,
section 10).
The Tinel-Lock ring is used
to terminate copper cable
braid directly onto the rear
of the adapter. The adapter
entry size and ring designa-
tor must be selected to suit
the cable diameter and
braid type.
The resulting 360° termina-
tion withstands severe
shock, vibration, tempera-
ture cycling, and corrosion.
Straight, 45°, and 90° con-
figurations are available.
Dimensions are shown for
reference purposes only.

Roll-back Repair with Adapters
More than 85 percent of
cable repairs are made
within 75 [3.0] of the
connectors—usually
because of a broken pin or
wire. By reheating the heat-
shrinkable boot and
unscrewing the adapter
coupling nut, the boot can
be “rolled back,” providing
access to the rear of the
connector for repair. This
technique is applicable to
spin-coupling, shielded,
and Tinel-Lock adapters.
