Parts Supplied
The Fischer connector is supplied in 2 parts: The plug and the collet set. You need both parts
to complete the task successfully. If you fail to fit the collet set, the pins will withdraw when the
connector is inserted.

Assembly Sequence
1. Determine the diameter of the cable you are using. The maximum size for the
connector is 4.7mm overall diamet er. The maximum wire size to fit the solder buckets
is 28AWG.
2. If the cable you are using is less than 4.3mm, you will need to either source an
alternative collet, or build up the diamet er of the cable by using heatshrink tubing. It is
recommended that the adhesive-lined type is used if using heatshrink tubing as it
provides greater cable strain relief. You should use a minimum of 30mm of heatshrink
tubing.
3. Working from the end to be connected, slide the cable clamp onto the cable.
4. Slide the Collet onto the cable.
5. Strip the insulation from your cable exposing any screening prese nt. You should strip
back approximately 40mm but this will be trimmed back later.
6. Splay out any screening. Once the screening has been splayed out, slide the spacer
over the wire cores.
7. Trim the cores to 15mm.
8. Strip the ends approximately 1mm and tin the exposed wires with a minimum amount
of solder. If you use too much, you will struggle to fit the wires into the solder buckets
of the ins ert.
