Electronics International OLC-2 Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant. I've reviewed the provided Connector Instructions document for OLC-1 and OLC-2 wire connectors from Electronics International Inc.. This document provides instructions for installing and using these connectors, which are designed for reliable wire-to-wire connections, especially for small gauge wires and where high reliability is needed. I am ready to assist you with your questions based on the information in the document.
  • What is the recommended strip back length for the wires?
    How should I tighten the set screw?
    Is thread lock required for the set screws?
Application: Wire to wire connection of 20ga wire and smaller. Use this connector where extreme reliability
is required.

OLC-2
Connector Instructions
Patent: In Process
After over one million crimps and 30+ years experience we found that crimps on wire to wire connectors (of
any kind) can be unreliable. To resolve this issue we developed the OLC-2. This connector connects two wires
together using two set screws. The OLC-2 can be used as a precision connector for thermocouple wire. The
elasticity of the wire locks each set screw, although thread lock is recommended.
Installation Instructions:
1. Strip back the insulation on the two wires 0.3125” (5/16”). The strip back length must be correct to insure
proper wire connection.
2. Place the hex driver (0.050”) in the set screw and back the set screw out to the last thread. Leave the hex
driver in the set screw.
3. Hold the connector between your thumb and index finger. Insert one wire into the end of the connector so the
wire insulation is just inside the nylon housing. Use your thumb and index finger to hold the wire and connector.
4. Tighten the set screw until the set screw stops turning and the hex driver starts to flex (4-5 inch lbs.).
5. Tug on the wire (1-2 lbs) to insure proper connection.
6. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 for the other end.
The OLC-1 (1 set-screw) and
OLC-2 (2 set-screws) are
interchangeable. You may
receive both types in your
order. Go to our website for
