Assembly Instructions for MIL-C-26500
Connectors, cont.
Contact Insertion into the Connector
The following steps are recommended for assembly.
NOTE:
The Pyle Miniature Connector is designed with a unique sealing principle.
Assembly of contacts into the connector must be made with reasonable care
to avoid damage to the silicone rubber insert.
1. Lubricate wire cavities in back face of insert with a very thin film of DC-200
Silicone Oil or equal before inserting contacts.
2. Locate contact in insertion tool (as shown in illustration).
3. Align contact with hole in rear face of insert. The alignment of insertion tool
with contact must be coaxial with the axis of the connector. When contact
has entered rear seal portion of insert, maintain alignment of contact and
tool parallel to, and in line with hole. Insert contact to full depth. Seating of
the contact in the retention collet is audible. The contact insertion force is
less than five pounds.
4. Extract insertion tool, keeping it aligned with hole.
Contact Removal from the Connector
A contact is removed from the connector insert with the extraction tool as follows:
1. Set the spacer sleeve in the proper position for removal of male or female
contact.
2. Place tool over the contact and insert into front face of cavity. The align-
ment of removal tool with contact must be coaxial with axis of connector.
3. Exert a nominal force axially (from 5 to 10 lbs.) to release retention collet.
Spacer sleeve will shoulder at front face of insulation when tool is inserted
to proper depth.
4. Push extraction plunger to force the contact out of the rear of the insert.
5. Grasp contact or wire at rear face of insert and complete the extraction.
6. Remove extraction tool axially.
7. After using extraction tool the spacer sleeve should be set forward in last
notch to protect the end of the plunger guide.
Panel Mounting
Two receptacle shell styles, flange mount and D-hole mount, are available for
panel mounting. See the applicable drawings for mounting hole dimensions.
The square flange receptacle, sizes 10 through 22, is fastened to the panel
with four size #4-40 machine screws. The 24 and 28 size shells are fastened
with #6-32 machine screws.
