PROCESS – CONTACT AND CABLE INSERTION
Cable Crimping
1 – Insert wire into contact body.
2 – Insert the unit into the crimping tool (selector position 2) with dedicated locator.
Crimping tool - Position #2:
M22520/2-01 (P/N: C995-0001-584)
Locator for Male Contact:
MDMA-Locator-P-01 (P/N: C115373-0001)
Locator for Female Contact:
MDMA-Locator-P-02 (P/N: C115373-0002)
Contact Insertion
Insert contact with wire into rear insulator cavity until positive stop.
To avoid stress onto retention clip, insert contact in the axis (no
insertion angle).
To be sure contact is locked securely, pull back lightly on wire or use
calibrated test retention tool.
MDMA-Retention tool (P/N: C115373-0003).
PROCESS – CONTACT AND CABLE EXTRACTION
1 – Select contact extraction tool:
- Connector size 9 to 37 ->MDMA-Extract tool-01 (P/N: C115373-0006)
- Connector size 51
->MDMA-Extract tool-02 (P/N: C115373-0007)
2 – Insert tool tip into contact cavity until tip bottoms against contact
shoulder, releasing tine.
Hold wire against tool with finger and remove tool and contact.
Be careful to put extraction tool in the good position!
Each contact cavity has flat area to place tool tip.
