Complete the Construction of Your Assembly
Using the DB-9 kit that ships with the KAM’98, complete the DB-9 assembly:
Step 1. Install the strain relief around the two cables whose
wires are attached to the DB-9 connector, to protect the
wires from being accidentally pulled from the pins:
• select the four parts used for the strain relief:
(1) two brackets having curves to
accommodate the cable and (2) two short
screws, used to connect the brackets to each
other,
• arrange the two brackets so the two curves
form a circle (to surround the cable), with
the two threaded (thicker) holes on the
brackets (one on each bracket) on opposite
sides of the assembly,
• use one of the screws to connect the two
brackets, passing the screw through the hole
on the thin side of one bracket and attaching
it (screwing it into the threads) to the other
bracket,
• place the two cables into the circle formed
by the two brackets, examine the back shell
assembly to see how far up the cable from
the DB-9 pins the strain relief brackets will
need to be to fit into the back shell (in the
slot just before the cable exits the back shell
assembly), and position the brackets around
the cable at that point on the cable,
• fasten the two brackets with the second short
screw (which will go in the opposite direc-
tion from the first) and tighten the screws, to
secure the cable in the strain relief assembly.
