STEP 1: Slide the rear
accessories over the wire
bundle in the proper sequence
for re-assembly: cable clamp
and/or endbell first, then ferrule
and (if used) coupling nut.
STEP 2: Insert individual wires
through the proper holes in the
grommet. Use isopropyl alcohol
as a lubricant.
STEP 3: Solder wires to
appropriate contacts on the rear
of the connector. Information on
standard soldering practices is
available upon request. Please
contact us.
STEP 4: Fixture the connector
for reassembly using the
endbell assembly tools on
apage 122.
STEP 5: Slide the grommet
down the wires (lubricating the
grommet with isopropyl alcohol
will help).
STEP 6: Fill all unused
grommet cavities with a wire
hole filler to maintain the sealing
integrity of the connector.
STEP 7: Slide coupling nut,
ferrule, and endbell accessories

STEP 1: Strip the wires to the appropriate
length. See strip lengths on the Contact
Selection Guide, apage 30.
STEP 2: Open the crimp tool by
squeezing the handles. Push the
latch on the turret to release the
locator. Attach the turret to the
crimp tool using the two captive
hex bolts in the turret.
STEP 3: Select the proper locator position
for your contact by rotating the locator
until the proper color is aligned with the
index mark. Push locator back down until
it snaps into position.
STEP 4: Adjust dial for proper wire gauge.
To change the dial setting, remove the lock
pin and lift center of dial. Turn to the desired
wire gauge. Replace lock pin on dial.
STEP 5: Cycle the tool before inserting the
contact to be sure the tool is in the open
position. Drop the contact, mating end first,
into the crimp cavity of the tool. Squeeze the
tool handle just enough to grip the contact
without actually crimping it.
STEP 6: Insert the stripped wire into the
contact with a slight twisting motion. Be
sure all wire strands are inside the contact.
Squeeze the handle to cycle the tool. The
handle will not release until the contact is
completely crimped.
