Wiring
Pin Connection Details
The SDL pin connection list appears at the back of this manual.
Wire
Use 22# Tefzel wire (Mil Spec M22759/16-22) (5 amps max at 100
°
C)
Note that the Tefzel wire is difficult to strip unless the correct stripping tool is
used. Be careful not to nick the wires as this may result in wire failure or poor
crimping.
Some sensor connectors may not be available with 22# terminals, in which
case doubling the wire over gives the equivalent of an 18# wire, which is
suitable for many of the common sensor terminals.
For full wire specifications see Appendix P: Wire Specifications.
Connector
The SDL uses a 37 pin Auto Sport connector, see Appendix N: Connector for
full details.
To ensure that the connector is sealed plug unused holes with filler plugs. A
heat shrink boot may also be used if desired.
Crimping
Ensure that the correct crimping tool is used for all contacts to ensure a
reliable connection.
The correct mil spec crimping tool must be used for the SDL crimp pins. See
Appendix N: Connector
for details.
•
Note that the Crimp Contacts are type 22D which is needed to set the
crimp tool correctly.
