Good crimps are mandatory for reliable console operation and clean signal path. It pays to be extra

careful in crimping right from the

beginning. A good crimp now may save many hours of frustration

later. A good crimp will exclude air from the joint. If air gets in the crimp

joint oxidation can occur

resulting in an intermitant contact. A good crimp will strain relieve the joint by grabbing the cable

insulation taking most

of the strain off the wire itself.

CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS

STRIP

the wire‘s insulation off exposing the recommended wire length.

TIN

the exposed wire with a small amount of solder.

INSERT A PIN

in the crimp tool such that the tool is aligned with the part of the pin which will

crimp onto the tinned wire lead.

Use the “B” part

of the

tool for most applications. Hold the pin

in place by partially squeezing the crimp tool.

INSERT THE WIRE

into the pin to the prescribed depth then . . .

CRIMP

the pin by squeezing the tool until the pin is squashed. Oversqueezing the crimp pin

will cause it to easily break in half, under-squeezing

will allow the wire to slip out.

REINSERT

the pin in the crimp tool such that the tool is aligned with the part of the pin which will

crimp onto the wire insulation.

SQUEEZE

the crimp tool once again to crimp the insulation. This acts as a strain relief.

SOLDER

the wire/pin joint with a SMALL amount of solder. This will insure a long lasting trouble

free joint. Too much solder will inhibit pin insertion.

INSTALL

the pin into the housing (after all crimps on the cable end are completed).

NOTES

1) The connector and pins are made by AMP.

CONNECTOR HOUSING = AMP P/N 350720-1

.086" FEMALE CRIMP PIN = AMP P/N 350689-1

2) A PIN EXTRACTION TOOL is available to remove pins from housings.

AMP P/N 305183

3) If the wire is too large to effectively crimp, try just soldering the pin on without

crimping.
