BAND-IT
®
Tools and Tool Kits
for Reliable Shield Termination
Fast, Cost-Effective Field and
Factory Terminations
The BAND-IT
®
clamping system provides quick
and highly reliable termination of braided metallic
shielding or fabric braid. Banding technology was first
introduced in our industry in 1985 as a solution to the
field repair of magnaformed shield terminations on
installed cable assemblies for the B-1 bomber. Band-
ing has been a staple of the industry ever since.
Band-It
®
clamping bands are precision constructed of 300
Series SST/Passivate, and designed for use with Band-It
®
Hand
Banding Tool or the Pneumatic Banding Tool.
The bands are offered in the following four configurations to
suit a wide range of requirements: Double-wrapped, the Stan-
dard Band will accommodate diameters up to approximately 1.8
inches. The Extended Length Standard Band when double-
wrapped will accommodate diameters up to approximately 2.5
inches (63.5mm). The Micro Band will accommodate diameters
up to approximately .88 inches (22.5mm) when double-wrapped.
The Extended Length Micro Band will accommodate diameters
to approximately 1.88 inches (47.8mm) when double-wrapped. All
Band-It
®
clamping bands may be ordered flat or precoiled in
bagged and tagged quantities from 1 to 100.
Reliable termination is quickly and easily accomplished in
the field with Band-It
®
precalibrated pocket-sized hand tools. High-
speed, mass termination production is afforded by the pneumatic
clamping tool.
Quick, Easy Field Terminations
with the Precalibrated Hand Tool
The precalibrated hand tool is lightweight and pocket-
sized, affording fast braided RFI/EMI/EMP shield ter-
mination in the field.
Pneumatic Banding Tool
for High-Speed Mass Production
The pneumatic clamping tool offers the capability to
tackle high volume braided shielding terminations
quickly and easily.
Glenair Assembly Tools Help Prevent
Distortion and False Tightening Problems
Backshell tightening tools are available which pro-
vide virtually a full 360° gripping surface on backshell
coupling nuts. These innovative tools minimize the
possibility of coupling nut distortion and false tighten-
ing problems which can be caused by soft-jaw pliers
or strap wrenches.
Reliable Installation of Glenair
Backshells on Circular Connectors
When used with the appropriate connector holders
and torque wrenches, Glenair Backshell Assembly
Printed in U.S.A.
Reliable RFI/EMI/EMP Terminations
The unique low profile and smooth inside diameter of
the one-piece type 304 austenitic stainless steel clamping
band virtually eliminates RFI/EMI/EMP leakage paths.
The lock maintains constant tension under extreme envi-
ronmental conditions.
BAND-IT
®
has passed severe
shock, vibration and thermal cycle testing with negligible
deterioration of shell conductivity.
Single Piece Band Construction
No welding, soldering, magna forming, and no crimp-
ing! The clamping bands provide quick, easy and cost-
effective shielding terminations. (Note: Bands must be
double coiled.)
Clamp Small Diameters Easily, Reliably
Double-wrapped, the clamping band is designed to
clamp small diameters as easily, quickly and reliably as
large diameters.

Banding System Shield Termination Tools
Tools provide the user with consistent, repeatable back-
shell installations. Designed primarily for production
assembly use, the tools can also be used equally well
for successful field maintenance operations.
Glenair Backshell Assembly Tools may also be uti-
lized effectively with backshell rotatable couplers pro-
duced by other manufacturers, providing the "B" refer-
ence diameters are consistent with Glenair values.
Recommended Tightening Procedures
Recommended tightening procedures, tools and
torque values offered by Glenair are intended as an aid
to properly fasten the backshell to the connector inter-
face threads. Glenair offers a variety of tools to accom-
plish proper tightening; our 600 Series pliers with re-
placeable pads are configured to make maximum cir-
cumferential support to each specific size backshell to
be tightened, our TG70 strap wrench (page 6) is intended
for general use on any diameter between .50 to 3.00
inches. Hand-held and bench-mount torque wrenches
accomodate our 600-005 plug or receptacle connector
holders (see
Backshell Assembly Tool
catalog).
When tightening backshell onto connectors, it is im-
portant to follow Glenair's recommended procedures for
each tool being used.
When tightening backshells with rotatable coupling
nuts, Glenair recommends the backshell to be hand
tightened to engage the connectors interlocking teeth
or spline features, making sure the teeth are fully en-
gaged before fully torquing with our tools. We also sug-
gest retorquing by removing the tool and reinstalling the
tool approximately 90° away from the intial position and
tightening to the connector manufacturer's recom-
mended value.
Composite backshells should be tightened to the
values shown for MIL-C-85049 light and medium duty
torque. Secondary components such as: Glenair's cable
clamps, gland sealing nuts, sleeves or adapters, not
directly fastened to the connector should be tightened
40 to 60 inch pounds to insure proper performance.
Four Easy Steps for Proper Backshell Assembly
1.
Select plug or receptacle holder (most holder
series provide "universal polarization", but a few con-
nector series require specific polarization for each
alternate keying arrangement).
2.
Set desired torque on torque wrench.
3.
Mount holder on square drive of torque wrench.
Carefully mate with connector, and hand-tighten
Glenair backshell coupling. To assure proper mat-
ing, anti-rotation teeth must be fully engaged.
4.
Tighten rotatable coupler with assembly tool.
Do not use excessive grip on handles. When cou-
pler begins to tighten, relax grip and rotate assem-
bly tool back 90°, then resume grip and continue
to tighten; repeating this sequence until desired
torque level is reached.
CAUTION:
Do not apply torque in excess of
signal setting. Excess torque will cause signal
pointer to reset and give erroneous readings.
Setting Torque Levels
To verify proper backshell installation values, electri-
cal signals are built into bench-mounted (audio) and
hand-held (light) torque wrenches. The procedure for
setting torque levels is the same for both units.
Setting Desired
Torque for
Right-Hand
Thread Tightening
Bezel (1)
Memory
Pointer (3)
Main Pointer (2)
To set torque, turn Bezel (1) clockwise until signal
is on. Continue to turn Bezel until Main Pointer (2) is
at desired torque level on scale. You may cover the
audio signal during this procedure to minimize noise
level when setting the bench-mounted unit.
The Memory Pointer (3) is set by the above proce-
dure. With this accomplished, turn Bezel counter-clock-
wise until the Main Pointer is aligned with zero on the
scale. Your torque wrench is now ready for operation.
Setting Desired Torque for
Left-Handed Thread Tightening
Simply reverse the above procedure for setting the
desired torque for left-hand thread tightening.
Resetting the Memory Pointer
When you wish to change torque levels, rotate the
Bezel counter-clockwise until the signal is on. Con-
tinue to rotate Bezel until Memory Pointer is aligned
with zero on the scale. Now repeat the above proce-
dure for setting torque.

How
to Order
1.
Prepare Cable Braid for termination
process (Figure 1).
2.
Push Braid forward over Adapter Retention
Lip to the Adapter Incline Point (or .4"
[10.2mm] minimum braid length). Milk
Braid as required to remove slack and
insure a snug fit around the shield
termination area (Figure 2).
3.
Prepare the Band in the following manner:
IMPORTANT:
Due to Connector/Adapter
circumference, it may be necessary to
prepare the Band around the Cable or
Retention Area.
A.
Roll Band through the Buckle Slot twice.
(Bands must be double-coiled.)
B.
Pull on Band until Mark
( )
is within
approximately .250 inch (6.4mm) of
Buckle Slot (Figure 3). The Band may
be tightened further if desired.
NOTE:
Prepared Band should have
( )
Mark visible approximately where shown
in Figure 3.
SHIELD TERMINATION CLAMPING
PROCESS: (Figures 4 thru 8):
NOTE:
To free Tool Handles, move
Holding Clips to center of Tool.
4.
Squeeze Gripper Release Lever and insert
Band into the front end opening of the Tool.
(NOTE: Circular portion of looped band
must always face downward.)
5.
Aligning the Band and Tool with the Shield
Termination Area, squeeze Black Pull-Up
Handle repeatedly using short strokes until
it locks against Tool Body. (This indicates
the Band is compressed to the Tool
Precalibrated Tension.)
NOTE:
If alignment of band and shield is
unsatisfactory, tension on band can be
relaxed by pushing on slotted release
lever on top of tool. Make adjustments
as necessary and again squeeze black
pull-up handle..
6.
Complete the Clamping Process by
squeezing the Gray Cut-Off Handle.
7.
Remove excess Band from Tool.
8.
Inspect Shield Termination.
