6. Release the cam handle or trigger. The wire
inserter will retract and the feed slide will
automatically advance the connector to the next
contact position.
NOTE
i
The locating pawl will move up and down as the
connector is automatically advanced through the
head. However, if movement is obstructed, or if
desired, the locating pawl can be depressed and
the connector moved manually out of the RIGHT
side of the head.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 until all contacts have
been terminated.
8. Inspect each termination according to
Paragraph 3.2.
5.2. Ribbon Cable
1. Prepare ribbon cable according to Figure 5.
2. Insert the connector into the left side of the
head. Refer to Figure 6.
3. Align the contact to be terminated with the wire
inserter of the head (shown in Figure 1). Make sure
that the locating pawl rests between the connector
index ribs.
4. Position the ribbon cable directly above the
connector so that the first wire is between the first
position of the connector and the funnel area of the
head. Insert the ribbon cable into the connector
until the first wire bottoms on the tool base. Make
sure that the cable is fully seated by checking that
the ends of the notched wires of the trailing end of
the cable are against the back edge of the
connector. This position must be maintained for
every wire after the termination begins.
CAUTION
!
The ribbon cable must be held in place during the
entire termination to ensure that the proper wire
depth is maintained. The additional drag caused
by the ribbon cable rubbing against the guide
area may cause the connector to not fully feed to
the next full position. Additional care must be
taken to make sure that the locating pawl is
properly located in the contact slot of the
connector before cycling the tool.
5. Squeeze the cam handle (manual) or depress
the trigger (pneumatic) of the handle assembly,
and hold it until the ratchet releases (manual) or
the wire inserter bottoms (pneumatic).
6. Release the cam handle or trigger. The wire
inserter will retract and the feed slide will
automatically advance the connector to the next
contact position.
NOTE
i
The locating pawl will move up and down as the
connector is automatically advanced through the
head. However, if movement is obstructed, or if
desired, the locating pawl can be depressed and
the connector moved manually out of the head.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 until all contacts have
been terminated.
