SERIES FIVE Assembly Instructions, cont.
CONTACT INSERTION, CONT. 4. Remove tool and pull back lightly on wire, making sure contact stays properly seated and isn’t dragged back with the tool. Repeat operation with remainder of contacts to be inserted, beginning with the center cavity and working outward in alternating rows.
5. After all contacts are inserted, fill any empty cavities with wire sealing plugs. (Refer to sealing plug charts page 8)
6. Reassemble plug or receptacle hardware - slide forward and tighten using connector pli- ers. Connector holding tools are recommend- ed while tightening back accessories. When using strain relief, center wires at bar clamp. Slide clamp grommet into position and tighten clamp bar screws. When tightening screws, pressure should be applied in the same direc- tion that clamp is threaded to rear threads of connector. When not using clamp grommet, build up wire bundle with vinyl tape so clamp bar will maintain pressure on wires.
CAUTION, when inserting or removing contacts, do not spread or rotate tool tips.
CONTACT REMOVAL 1. Remove hardware from plug or receptacle and slide hardware back along wire bundle.
2. Use proper plastic or metal re- moval tool for corresponding contact. (Consult Removal Tool table on page 8). Slide correct size tool over wire insulation.
3. Insert plastic or metal removal tool into contact cavity until tool tips enter rear grommet and come to a positive stop. Hold tool tip firmly against positive stop on con- tact shoulder. Grip wire and simultaneously remove tool and contact. (On occasion, it may be necessary to remove tool, rotate 90° and reinsert.)
Use white end of plastic tool for removal of contacts.
