Made from fatigue resistant Stainless Steel roll springs, also known as contact force springs, are used used to attach a shielding braid to the tape shield of a plastic cable when terminating or jointing. The larger sizes are mainly used for attaching earth braids to lead sheathed cables and commonly forms an integral part of the MV TE joints and terminations.
Roll springs also work with copper earth braid as a clamp to hold it in place.
