6. Removal of contacts:
a. Using the proper extraction tool insert the tool over the front of the contact and push
contact out. Failure to use the proper extraction tool can result in damage to the contact.
TOOLINGS – JBX – JKX
Manual Extraction Tools
Contacts automatically extracted without pulling on the cable.
The extraction tool is the same for both male and female contacts.
7. Take the keyed half bushing (#6) and place it over the insulator so that the window is lined up
with the key on the insulator and the key on the half bushing is pointing to the back of the
insulator (position loading path indicator (worm end)). Then take the half bushing without the
window (#6) and place on the opposite side of the insulator so that both half bushings are
aligned with each other.
8. Take the collet that is pre-loaded on the cable and align the slots in the collet with the keys on
the end of the half bushings (you may need to move the braid away from the slots and spin the
collet slightly). Once they are aligned, compress the assembly so that it is in line and there are
no gaps between the collet & the half bushings. The braid should still be in place once the
assembly is inserted.
9. Take a connector housing (#7) and slide it over the insulator so that the red dot on the
connector housing lines up with the key on the half bushing with window. Push the whole
assembly into the connector housing until it bottoms out. Insure that the keys are seated
properly by turning the collet that is already aligned with the half bushings. If the collet does
not turn, then the keys are correctly aligned. If the collet does turn, then you must withdraw the
assembly & realign the keys.
10. Once the assembly is installed into the connector housing and is aligned properly, apply thread
lock to thread area. Then slide the back nut up until you can manually start the back nut threads
onto the threaded end of the connector housing. Tighten the back nut up as far as you can by
hand, then take the appropriate wrenches and place the wrenches onto the flats located on the
connector housing. Do not over torque back nut as it can cause connector failure.
