GENERAL INFORMATION
The Z50-020 IDC Termination Hand Tool is used to ensure the complete and secure assembly of IDC
connectors. The tool uses a ratchet mechanism and press plate to assemble the connector onto the ribbon
cable. The tool is also supplied with a desk clamp, for secure fastening during operation.
The connector is fully assembled once the tool is free to open fully to its original position, i.e. when the
ratchet releases. The ratchet releases once the handles have been compressed to the fully closed position.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1.
Decide whether you will clamp the tool to the desk or use the tool in hand. If clamping the tool
to a desk, make sure the tool is securely fastened before use.
2.
Select a suitable ribbon cable for the connector.
Harwin recommends:
Wire Type = UL2678
Wire Pitch = 0.635mm
Wire Thickness = 30AWG
3.
Feed the cable into the back of the connector, ensuring it is the correct width and cut to the
desired length.
