4. CABLE STRIPPING DIMENSIONS FOR PRIMARY POWER CONTACTS

CAUTION: When using cable with jacket diameter less than 0.423 inches (11mm) on the SBE160 / SBX175 and less than 0.709 inches 
(18mm) on the SBE320 / SBX350 thin wall heat shrink insulation should be evenly applied.  For SBX350/SBE320 using a cable with a 
jacket diameter over 1.00” [28mm], it will not fi t into the connector.  Shrink tube should be applied.

SHRINK WRAP USAGE
• 

For SBE160 / SBX175 -  When using a cable with a jacket diameter of (.420/11mm) or smaller the following Shrink tubing 
should be applied per instructions: to insure fi 

nger 

protection. 

     

 

 

• 

For SBE320 / SBX350 -  When using a cable with a jacket diameter of (.700/18mm) or smaller the following Shrink tubing 
should be applied per instructions: to insure fi nger protection.

• For 

SBE320/SBX350 - When using a cable with a jacket diameter over (1/25mm) or larger  the following shrink tubing should 

be applied per instructions: to insure fi 

nger 

protection. 

   

Use Shrink wrap with a diameter (A) with 2:1 shrink ratio  

 

 

• 

Operating temp -30 to +105°C (or higher) 

 

 

 

• 

min. shrink temperature 80°C 

 

 

 

• 

Recovered wall thickness (B)  

 

 

 

• 

Cut shrink wrap to (C) 

 

 

 

• 

Place shrink wrap over crimped contact as shown (D). 

 

 

 

• 

Align edge of shrink wrap tubing to the bottom of the last crimp as shown (D).

• 

Heat shrink wrap as required to form around the contact, cabling and the cable’s insulation. 

6. RECOMMENDED SOLDERING TECHNIQUES

(Use rosin fl ux solder only). Wrap cable strands, melt solder into well; heat and insert stripped cable. Continue heating well until solder 
fl ows into wire being careful not to over fl ow onto contact surfaces. DO NOT SOLDER DIP CONTACTS when contacts are soldered to 
unsupported lead. Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. requires use of cable clamps, listed in table below.
