•  Use the ohmmeter to measure the 

resistance between the gold wires. The 

resistance must be greater than 20 

megohm (meter may read: ∞, O.L., etc.).

•  If the measurement is less than 20 

megohm, check that the cable is not 

wet or contaminated, and make sure 

the wires are not touching each other. 

Repeat measurement.

•  Note the large tab cutout around 

rim of connector. Position the 

large tab at 12 o’clock position, 

see below.

•  Use permanent ink marker to mark 

flat portion of connector body 

behind the large tab.

•  For the pin connector (Part A) only, 

slip the spinner ring, large hole first, 

onto the connector.

•  Attach TT-MET-MC and TT-FET-MC 

(Parts F and G) to socket and pin 

connector (Parts B and A) to use 

as a holder to avoid burning fingers 

while applying heat.

•  Keep wires in the same order that they 

exit from the cable end.

•  Slide a SolderSleeve splice (small end 

first) onto each wire, all the way to the 

cable end.

•  The solder ring must lie over bare 

conductor, not insulation.

•  Wire ends 

must extend 

beyond the 

solder rings.

•  Once yellow wire is aligned correctly to the mark on 

connector body, the red wire will be opposite to it 

and all wires will be in their correct positions.

•  Orient the connector and push 

aligned connector posts into the 

SolderSleeves.

•  Verify the SolderSleeve ends 

are inside the back of 

the connector.

•  Make sure the solder 

bands are in contact 

with connector posts 

and the wires.
