Then select the connector size according to the
required number of contact positions. Refer to Figure
1 to make sure that the fixture is compatible with the
connector and method of application.
Proceed as follows:
1. Prepare the cable according to 408-9515. If using
the tooling assembly (58039-1), proceed to Section
4, otherwise continue with the following steps.
2. Determine the location for the fixture on the
harness board. Make sure space is provided for
lengths of wire between connectors. Refer to 
Figure 2.

NOTE
i
The applicator assembly can be rotated 360_,
however, to avoid unnecessary motion, the fixture
should be positioned so that the least amount of
rotation of the applicator assembly is required.
3. Drill holes in the board for mounting the fixture.
Refer to Figure 3 for recommended board layout. If
using connector assembly for testing, cut a slot for
the post retainer assembly.
4. Attach the fixture to the board using screws,
washers, and nuts, or suitable commercially
available hardware.
5. Place wire roll at a convenient location for lacing
into the fixture.
4. TERMINATION PROCEDURE
Refer to Figure 4, and proceed as follows:
1. Spread the fixture wire combs apart, and insert
the connector, mating end first, into the center of the
receiving track. Make sure that the connector
shoulder is behind the locating plate and the
connector ribs are aligned with the slots in the 
wire comb.
CAUTION
The connector must be located in the center of the
receiving track. Do NOT place more than two
!
connectors end to end in the fixture.
2. Lace a wire over the slot in the wire combs that
aligns with the applicable connector contact. Make
sure that the wire is straight, then press the wire into
the slot until it bottoms in the wire combs. Repeat
until all wires are positioned.
3. Terminate the connector according to 408-4260
(if using applicator assembly) or 408-6685 (if using
tooling assembly).
