The Glenair 600-058 and 600-061 banding tools are OEM BAND-IT® Tie-Dex II® tools that are rebranded and sold under Glenair part numbers for aerospace cable shield termination applications.
Rather than being competing tools, they are the same physical tools with different manufacturer part numbers used throughout the aerospace, military, and avionics industries.
Glenair and BAND-IT Equivalent Part Numbers Glenair Part Number BAND-IT Part Number Description Glenair 600-058 BAND-IT A40199 Standard Tie-Dex II Banding Tool Glenair 600-061 BAND-IT A30199 Tie-Dex Micro Banding Tool
The BAND-IT operating manual identifies the A40199 as the standard Tie-Dex II tool and the A30199 as the Tie-Dex Micro tool.
The Glenair manual lists the same operational procedures, calibration specifications, replacement components, and band compatibility for the 600-058 and 600-061 tools.
Aerospace Shield Termination Applications
These Tie-Dex II banding tools are commonly used for:
- Aerospace wire harness assembly
- EMI/RFI shield termination
- Military aircraft electrical systems
- Avionics cable assemblies
- Helicopter wiring harnesses
- Defense communication systems
- Motorsport electrical harnesses
- Connector backshell grounding
The tools install stainless steel Tie-Dex bands onto braided cable shields and backshell termination platforms to create secure, vibration-resistant electrical grounding connections.
Standard vs Micro Tie-Dex Tools
The primary difference between the two tool sizes is the band width they install.
According to the Glenair operating instructions:
Glenair 600-058 / BAND-IT A40199 uses .240-inch standard bands Glenair 600-061 / BAND-IT A30199 uses .120-inch micro bands
The standard tool is typically used on larger cable assemblies, while the micro version is designed for compact connectors and smaller harness systems.

Tie-Dex II Installation Procedure
The Glenair operating manual outlines the proper aerospace shield termination process:
- Prepare the cable braid
- Double-wrap the Tie-Dex band
- Insert the band into the tool
- Tension the clamp using even strokes
- Lock and cut the band
- Inspect the completed termination
The BAND-IT instructions also state:
“Never use band as a single wrapped clamp.”
Double-wrapping is required for proper aerospace-grade EMI shield terminations.
Calibration Specifications
Factory calibration values for the tools are:
Tool Calibration
- 600-058 / A40199 150 ± 5 lbs
- 600-061 / A30199 80 ± 5 lbs
Glenair recommends calibration checks every 500 terminations using the 601-200 Calibration Kit.
