Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire connector with a 

13.5V

 

-compliant power 

supply, the incoming PWR and GND wires from the external source must be 

connected to their corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 5). 
The connector uses locking screws to insure a connection to the device, so make 

sure to insert and tighten the screws before applying power.  

1.

Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm 

captive wire cable. 
Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the 

terminal connector.

2.

Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. 
Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and 

damage the connector.

3.

Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire to the external 

13.5V

 

-compliant power supply and apply power.
