Power Clamp Wiremount Connectors

1.0 Recommended Tools

1.1 For cable and wire cutting:

a. Standard cable and wire cutting tool which

can provide a sharp and clean cut to the

wire end

1.2 For IDC termination (Figure 1):

a. Standard slip joint pliers which can provide

a parallel closing action

b. Pliers that can provide parallel closing

action. These are the preferred tool.

2.0 Cable or Discrete Wire

Preparation

2.1 Cut the cable or discrete wire to desired length.

2.2 Peel the cable jacket. Expose one inch (2.5 cm)

or more of wire.

2.3 Spread out the individual wire tips to the

approximate width of the connector and trim

off wire tips so the ends of the wire are even

when inserted into the connector. Wire should

be cut clean and have minimal deformation at

wire tip.

2.4 Verify wire gauge and diameter matches

specifications for connector. Each connector

is marked with appropriate wire gauge and

wire diameter range. This information can also

be found on the product technical data sheets

or drawings.

3.0 Wire Insertion

3.1 When electric wire is thin, it can easily be

inserted while the cover is in the horizontal

position. Insert the wire (Figure 3).



Figure 3

3.2 When the electric wire is thick, the insulation

displacement contacts (IDC) inside the cover

may interfere with wire insertion. If this

occurs, the cover can be raised at an angle to

eliminate interference (Figures 4 and 5).

a. Raise the cover.

b. Insert the electric wires.

c. Carefully return the cover to the original

horizontal position. Each IDC should align

with the opening in the cover. Do not force

the cover as this may bend the IDCs.

3.3 Position the electric wire so that it is fully

inserted into the cover. Wires should be even

or flush with the back edge of the cover

(Figure 6).

4.0 Termination to IDC

4.1 Using one of the recommended tools, apply

pressure to the center of the cover. The cover

should move vertically into the connector body

(Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10). The most effective

tool is a parallel-jaw type pliers as seen in

Figure 11.

4.2 After pushing the cover center, use the pliers to

vertically push down both edges of the cover

(Figures 12 and 13).

Figure 13

5.0 Verification and Inspection

5.1 The cover edges contain latches that provide

retention of the cover to the body. Verify the

latches are engaged on both the left and right

cover edges (Figures 14 and 15).

Figure 14

Figure 15

5.2 The cover should be fully seated into the body.

The top of the cover should be flush with

the top of the connector body on front, back,

left and right edges. If the cover is not fully

seated or latches not fully engage, then press

with pliers again to securely engage the cover

(Figures 16 and 17).
