1. The 3M
™
3436-1J Shut Height Gauge was
shipped with the locator plate. The setting height
is inscribed on the side of the gauge. The setting
of 18 1/2 is for the 3M
™
3640 Press and the
setting of 19 is for the 3M
™
3335 Press.
2. Place the shut height gauge on the base of the
press and bring down the shaft of the press onto
the surface of the shut height gauge lightly.
Adjust the shaft length by turning the adjusting
knob on the top of the shaft (3640) or the
adjusting collar on the lower portion of the shaft
of the press (3335) so that the press handle comes
completely down with only a small amount of
pressure from the press shaft on the shut height
gauge. On the 3335 only, tighten the locking
collar. The shut height distance is now set.
3. Place the 3M
™
3442-126 Platen on the end of the
press shaft and lock it in place by sliding the
holding clamp on the platen into the groove on
the press shaft. Your assembly press is now
setup.
Note: The 3640 in the picture is shown with the
separately purchased
3M
™
3771 Base Plate which
adds stabilization to the press. It’s use is optional.
The 3335 Heavy Duty press is also applicable, but
not shown.

1. The 3M
™
PAK 50 Connector may only be
terminated to the end of two cables. It may not
be daisy-chained.
2. Place the cable stops into the holes in the locator
plate.
3. Using a piece of cable, adjust the cable guide so
that the cable will be positioned in the center of
the locator plate when the edge of the cable is
against the guide. The small ridges on the surface
of the locator plate will help to hold the cable
straight and in position for termination.
4. The locator plate can now be positioned on the
press base under the platen. Some operators
prefer to place the locator plate into the press
after they have prepped the cable and connector
for termination. If you prefer this method, be
sure that the cable and connector do not move
when you place the locator plate into place on the
press.

Note: For clarity, the pictures show the cable and
connector being positioned on the locator plate
while it is on the table top. This can also be done
while the plate is in position on the press.
The 3M
™
PAK 50 Connector is made to be
terminated to two pieces of 3M
™
3365 Cable. This
is somewhat unusual for an insulation displacement
style connector. The connector has two rows of
contacts. One row of contacts protrudes further from
the connector body than the other. Each row will
terminate one of the two pieces of cable. One piece
of cable will end up against the connector body.
Cover 2 will end up between the two pieces of cable.
The second piece of cable will be on top of Cover 2.
Cover 1 will latch to the body and be on top of the
second piece of cable.
1. Place Cover 1 into the slot on the locator plate.
2. Place the first piece of cable against the cable
guide, between the plastic latches on Cover 1,
and with its end against the cable stops. When
the cable is pressed against the ridges on the
surface of the locator plate, it will become square
to the cover groove and the cover should slide
into position aligned with the cable. Make sure
that the cable is in the grooves on Cover 1.
3. Maintain pressure on the cable with your hand to
keep the cable in position.

Cover 1.

7. Make sure that the tips of the ejector latch on the
connector are pushed in toward the center of the
connector.
8. Place the connector body on top of the cable
engaging the protruding cover latches with the
appropriate slots on the connector body. The
connector may be pressed down by hand for an
initial placement.

9. If you did the assembly on the table top, place the
locator plate and cables and connector together
onto the base of the assembly press. Take care
that the cables do not move and that the
connector does not slip out of the groove on the
locator plate.
10. To complete the assembly, push the assembly
press handle down until the press handle stops
against the press frame. This will press the
connector onto the cable permanently.
11. Lift the press handle and remove the terminated
connector and cables from the locator plate.
12. Inspect the finished assembly to assure that the
cover latches are latched fully. If the cover
latches are not completely latched, a minor shut
height adjustment may be required.
Caution: Do not over terminate!
