4.1 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Contact/terminal insertion into
Plug housing
Use only
male
terminals with plug housing. Crimp and poke the contact by gripping the wire
appropriately using the orientation shown below picture. Continue inserting until it stops and locks
up with an audible click.
Contact/terminal insertion into
Receptacle housing
Use only
female
terminals with receptacle housing. Crimp and poke the contact by gripping the
wire appropriately using the orientation shown below picture. Continue inserting until it stops and
locks up with an audible click.
Connector mating
MultiCat Plugs and Receptacles are available in 2 keying options- A and B. It is visually easy to
identify them as Key-A housings are
Black
and Key-B housings are
Gray
in color. Match the
key/color to effectively mate the connector assemblies.

APPLICATION SPECIFICATION
Continue to slide the connector assemblies into each other until it bottoms and stops. The mating
is accomplished with a clear audible click of the latch.
Connector Position Assurance (CPA)
MultiCat receptacle housing is also available with a CPA part for added mate assurance and
secure locking. The CPA is shipped in “pre-lock” condition with these receptacle housings.
Activating the CPA
Once the plug and receptacle is fully mated, simply push the CPA from “pre-lock” to “final-lock”
position until you see/feel positive engagement. Note that the CPA can be effortlessly pushed only
when the connector assemblies is completely mated.
Deactivating the CPA
In order to operate the latch or unmate the connector, the CPA must be deactivated. Pull the CPA
from “final-lock” condition to “pre-lock” condition with your finger. This sequence shall deactivate
the CPA, allowing the user to operate the latches and procede with the unmating sequence.

APPLICATION SPECIFICATION
Connector unmating
To unmate the connectors, deactivate the CPA (in case your receptacle has a CPA). Grip the
mated assembly firmly. Push the connectors together to unload the latch system. Depress the
latch with your thumb. With the latch completely depressed, gently pull apart the connector
assemblies.
Hermaphroditic Backshell
The backshell is designed for cable strain relief and must be used with a cable tie. It can be used
directly with wire bundle or wire bundle sheathing. An assembly requires use of 2 backshells.
The same Backshell (part number) is used with Plug as well as Receptacle housing. Backshells
are not designed for re-use. If backshells are dis-assembled for any reason then replace both
backshells with new ones.
Backshell Assembly
I. Load the plug/receptacle housing with crimped terminals.
II. Use the
guide tabs
in the housing and
guide slots
in the backshell for location and guiding during
the assembly.
III. Place the housing into the backshell cavity.
IV. Place the second backshell on top of the housing and press to lock the assembly.
