In summary, Tinel-Lock rings with Tyco Electronics adapters provide a good shield-to-adapter connection for a low DC resistance path. The adapter and ring combination also provides consistent before and after stress test results. Tinel-Lock rings have no sharp edges or bulges that may interfere or abrade adjacent wire bundles or boots and terminations are quick and easy using an economical resistance heating tool which adapts to multiple ring sizes. Spin-coupling Tinel-Lock adapters allow for harness repairs without disturbing the factory lay of the braid. A variety of low profile, bent angles, and plating options are available.
