11. If the connector requires a protective boot, slide the boot over the lip on the back nut.
12. Potting of backend of plug with clipped contacts:
Clipped contacts are designed to float in the connector so that they self align when mated. It is
sometimes necessary to pot the back end of the connector so that the contacts are sealed off from the
environment. When this application is needed, it is recommended that the assembler engage a mating
connector/alignment tool to the assembly being potted. Once the mating connector/alignment tool is
engaged, it must be left engaged until the potting compound has hardened. This will insure that the
true position requirements are met. If the application is for low volume, a mating connector can be
used. If the application is for high volume, it is recommended that an alignment tool be purchased
from the supplier.
Trouble Shooting
Problem:
Contact will not seat in
connector, contact backing out.
Bent solder contact
Connector will not release
from mating part or operate
correctly
Over tightened the back nut.
Collet will not grip cable.
Connector will not assemble.
Contact stubbing after mating.
Electrical failure.
Cause:
Wrong wire or insulation size, wrong strip
length, poor crimping, broken clips,
damaged insulator, removed contact without
proper removal tool, bad crimp.
Bent in handling, bent in soldering
operation, connector assembled incorrectly.
Pins and insulator were inserted into
electrical test while unprotected by
shell
Not using flats on latching sleeve and back
nut to torque connector, improper assembly
of the connector, over mold material inside
connector.
Connector will not release from mating part
or operate correctly, damage connector.
Loose cable in connector.
Incorrect alignment of key in connector,
half bushings, connector housing, insulator,
collet, braid in key slots in collet.
Bent contact and damaged contact,
connector-assembled incorrectly.
Improper crimping, wrong wire strip length,
wire loading incorrect location, poor solder
joint.
Correction:
Use correct wire, adjust strip length, strip and
re-crimp with new contact, replace insulator,
using wrong crimp tool, replace contact.
Replace insert with contacts.
Release back nut and re-torque, disassemble
and reassemble, replace connector.
Loosen back nut and retighten.
Check correct collet size is being used.
Disassemble connector and reassemble
connector-aligning keys, relocate braid in
collet.
Re-align contact, replace insert with contacts.
Remove contact with correct removal tool,
reinstall new contact, and verify strip length.
