Twist the shield wire. 2 6 For ground protection the twisted shield wire is clipped in place with the ground protect flap. 35 40 3 5 Fit the cable into the `Jaws' cable clamp ensuring that the cable is pushed up to the neck of the clamp within 3mm. Close the cable clamp slightly and push the boot over the clamp ensuring the wires fit inside the boot. 3 7 Trim back the shield wire, so there are no wires coming out of the flap and fit the `Jaws' cable clamp into the shell assembly, ensuring the keyways are aligned. Pull back the conductors into their individual wire guidetracks. Note: Two spring fingers in the clamp will hold the conductors in position during subsequent operations. The ends of the two insulated wires must be on or past the minimum wire length mark. Final assembly can be achieved either by manually screwing the boot on, or by using an Amphenol Australia T2860 termination tool. 19 ENTERTAINMENT INTERCONNECT CATALOGUE - Amphenol Australia Pty Ltd Telephone 61 3 8796 8888 Fax 61 3 8796 8801 www.amphenolaudio.com AC SERIES XLR CABLE CONNECTORS STANDARD DATA STANDARD DATA AC CABLE CONNECTORS VALUE GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Number of contacts 3 4 5 6A 7 IDC / SOLDER SOLDER SOLDER SOLDER SOLDER IDC 24AWG N/A N/A N/A N/A Solder 14AWG 16AWG 18AWG 18AWG 20AWG AC Series Contact Arrangements (Front view of pin inserts) Termination Max.
