Caution
You
must
install this connector and backshell assembly according to local safety
codes and standards and according to the specifications provided by the connector
manufacturer. You are responsible for verifying safety compliance of third-party
connectors and their usage according to the relevant standard(s), including UL and CSA in
North America and IEC and VDE in Europe.
Constructing the Cable
Complete the following steps to construct a cable assembly designed to
meet high-voltage requirements (>42.4 V
pk
/60 VDC).
Note
If your cable assembly will be used only in low-voltage applications, the use of
UL style 2464 approved insulated cable is unnecessary. Proceed directly to step 2 to
construct a cable assembly for low-voltage applications.
1.
Remove 1 in. of outer insulation from the UL style 2464 approved
cable.
2.
Strip 0.2 in. (5.1 mm) of insulation from the end of each conductor.
3.
Fully insert the stripped portion of each conductor into one of the
solder cup pins provided with the kit. If the conductor has been
inserted correctly, you will be able to see it through the opening in
the pin.
4.
Solder each conductor to the pin by heating the conductor through the
opening of the pin. Ensure that the finished solder does not protrude
out of the opening in the pin.
