Assembly Instructions for Crimp Contacts
Contact Insertion:
RECEPTACLE
CONNECTOR
All crimp contacts are inserted by hand. No tooling
is required for either the plug or receptacle.
Caution: Do not force contacts into contact
cavities. If contact encounters excessive
resistance during installation remove and re-insert
using a slight up and down motion. This will assure
positive cavity alignment. Do not install contact if
plug is in the closed or actuated position.
