3.2. Shielded CHAMP Cable Connectors
Shielded CHAMP Cable Connectors consist of contacts on 2.16 mm [.085 in.] centerlines; pre--assembled
housings with 24, 36, or 50 slotted contacts; a choice of two wire slot sizes, B or E; bail--lock or screw--lock
hardware, with metric hardware for IEEE applications; 180_ cable entry; and the same full tooling capabilities
that are used with standard CHAMP Cable Connectors.
The main design difference in shielded CHAMP Cable Connectors is the addition of small holes or windows
around the peripheral skirt of each plug housing. These holes accept the spring fingers of a two--piece
wraparound metal shield. The spring fingers interact with the contact plates on the receptacle connector and
thus provide minimal leakage and maximum shielding effectiveness.
The application requirements are basically the same (except where noted otherwise) for shielded and standard
CHAMP Cable Connectors.
3.3. Locking Hardware
Locking hardware is used to secure mating CHAMP Connectors and to prevent accidental separation. Refer to
Instruction Sheet 408--3160 for further information. See Figure 5 for the different types of locking hardware.

G. Inserter Imprint
Inserter imprint in conductor insulation should not exceed one half of insulation wall thickness. Thinning of
insulation is acceptable to the point where the insulation appears translucent.
A. Locking Latch (CHAMP- LOK* Connector Design)
Standard CHAMP connectors (except for IEEE applications) have guide tracks and slots (on plugs) and
lead--in ramps (on receptacles) to allow the use of a metal locking clip for securing connectors.
B. Screw- Lock Hardware
Screw--lock hardware is used in applications where positive locking is required to secure connectors to pc
boards, to panels, and/or to each other. In cable--to--cable applications, two captive screws threaded into
pre--tapped holes are generally the only screw--lock requirements.
C. Bail- Lock Hardware (Standard or Bent)
Bail--lock hardware provides both locking and quick--release capabilities at both ends of mated connectors.
Flanges on CHAMP plug connectors must be open ended for all bail--lock applications. The open--end
flanges accept bail clips which are used primarily with right angle (90_) cable terminations where space is
limited.
D. J- Hook Hardware
The J--hook is a precision--formed metal bracket used as an alternate quick--fastening method for
assembly hardware. Two tabs fit into recesses in the connector housing flange for screw--fastening. The
inverted end of the J--hook snaps on the end of a mating connector, and holds it in place.
