LMD Assembly Instructions
MODULE INSERTION/REMOVAL & USE OF STRAIN RELIEF
Pin or socket modules, wired or unwired, can be inserted or intermixed in plug
or receptacle housings. Select from standard module configurations shown on
pages 103 & 104, or select the optional bussing, diode or relay modules
offered, shown on pages 105 & 106. The next instructions illustrate the proper
method of insertion and removal of modules within the LMD connector.
Module Insertion
Module Removal
Amp_Ah_ee_ron_spo_acl_e
Align the module with the proper
cavity at the rear of the housing. The
module keyway must be positioned
to accept key in housing cavity.
Carefully insert the module straight in
to the cavity until fully seated and
locked in place. A slight axial push on
the front of the module or a pull on
the cable bundle will confirm module
is locked in proper position.
Select module to be removed and place
the blades of removal tool into the remov-
al slots at the front of the connector. Push
the removal tool into the full depth of the
cavity, releasing the module retention
tines.
With the module removal tool fully
inserted, push the extraction plunger to
eject the module out of the rear of the
connector.
Assembly of Internal Strain Relief
Strain reliefs, if required, may be assembled to plug or receptacle
connectors which have a full complement of modules installed.
The following is instruction for assembling the internal attach-
ment strain relief, part number LMD-5300-10A (see page 107).
Opening Strain Relief to Service
Modules and Contacts
Internal attachment strain reliefs may be opened to
provide module and/or contact accessibility. To
service connectors, first cut and discard tie-strap on
strain relief. Open strain relief halves approx. 45°
each by bending along integral flexible hinge. After
servicing, close strain relief halves and install and
tighten new tie-strap.
To completely remove strain relief from the housing
in order to provide module access; first remove
tie-strap, open strain relief halves 45° each, then
remove module, then remove strain relief.
Tape wire bundle in area of cable clamp, and build up diameter
to approx. 3/8 inches, if required. Align self-locking tines of the
strain relief housing with the cavities adjacent to each module.
Push the strain relief housing into place until the self-locking
tines snap and lock strain relief into position. Assemble opposite
half of strain relief housing to connector and tighten tie-strap to
provide clamping force on the wire bundle.
