2. DESCRIPTION

Each fixture consists of a one-piece locating plate,

housing support, front wire comb, and rear wire comb.

The polarizing tab is used to properly orient the

applicator or tooling assembly with the fixture.

3. SETUP

Select the connector according to the color code that

matches the wire size as shown in Figure 2.

Then select the connector size according to the

required number of contact positions. Refer to ï

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 (58040-1), proceed to Section

4, otherwise continue with the following steps.

2. Determine the location on the harness board for

the fixture. Make sure space is provided for lengths

of wire between connectors. Refer to Figure 3.

NOTE

The applicator assembly can be rotated 360Â°,

however, to avoid unnecessary motion, the fixture

should be positioned so that the least amount of

rotation of the applicator assembly is required.

Harness Board

3. Drill holes in the board for mounting the fixture.

Refer to Figure 4 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 5, 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 ï

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.ï

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

this step until all wires are positioned.

3. Terminate the connector according to 408-4260

(if using applicator assembly) or 408-6701 (if using

tooling assembly).

4. Spread the fixture wire combs apart, and lift the

connector out of the fixture.

5. INSPECTING TERMINATED CONNECTOR

1. Visually inspect the connector to make sure that

there is no damage to the housing or contacts.

Damaged products should not be used.

NOTE

For detailed inspection requirements, refer to

Application Specification 114-1019.ï
