Abstract:
A wiring harness conduit shield assembly that provides shield continuity for a transition from one or more main wire bundle conduits into two or more wire bundle conduit branches. The assembly includes a pre-branch shield sock disposed over at least one main wire bundle conduit and two or more post-branch shield socks, one each disposed around each of the wire bundle conduit branches. An interconnect ring is coaxially disposed around the main wire bundle conduit at the branching point, and the post-branch shield socks have a tail portion that is disposed over the outer surface of the interconnect ring. The pre-branch shield sock is likewise disposed over the interconnect ring, overlapping the tail portions, and a retaining ring is tightly placed over both to clamp them onto the interconnect ring in metal-to-metal contact with one another so as to create shield continuity between the pre-branch shield sock and the post-branch shield socks.
