The AMP tool insulation dis-
placement connector system.
Note the right angle hood with
self-locking tabs. The tool,
multipin connectors (with gold
plated pins) and latching
hoods are supplied with each
control surface.
I/O Connections
All user wiring to and from the D-9 control surface is made via
connectors located on the control surface’s rear panel. There are also
two RJ-45 connectors for main (ENET A) and failsafe (ENET B - only
used if the surface has a redundant CPU) ethernet connections.
CAT-5 or multi-mode optical fiber Mixer Link connections are made
via RJ-45 or LC type optical connectors. Two 5-pin male connectors
are for power supply connections. VGA connections are made via the
female DB-15 connector that is mounted next to the ENET A connec-
tor. For all wiring pinout connections refer to Chapter 6. The sketch
below shows connector locations.
The Insulation Displacement Connector System
The I/O wiring interface system is based on insulation displacement
technology. A special AMP wiring tool is included with each control
surface; it is auto-indexing, and allows individual wire connections to
be positively made with a single squeeze of the tool's trigger. The
trigger action is ratchet controlled, and will not release until a full
connection is made. Once released, the multipin connector held in the
tool's jaw automatically indexes to the next connector pin. The technol-
