Insertion of wire in contact barrel
When inserting the stripped wire into the contact barrel check that no
strands are left outside and that the wire is visible through the wire
inspection hole in the barrel.
Important :
- Slide any accessories over wire strands before carrying out the following operations.
- Contacts are inserted and extracted from the rear of the connector.
Insertion of the contacts
1 - Engage the crimp cable / contact asembly into the longitudinal slot of the
plastic tool (coloured tip).
Slide the tool down the cable until the tip of the tool abuts the contact
retention shoulder.
2 - Introduce the contact into the required contact cavity in the insulator, pushing
tool axialy, until the contact snaps into position in clip.
3 - Withdraw the tool (from rear). Check that contact is firmly locked by
pulling wire gently.
When connector is fully loaded, check the position of contact tips. They should
all be in the same plane.
Nota : For larger sizes of cable which are stiff enough manual insertion without
tool is preferable.
