Wiring Procedure - Double Connection to One Pin
ref: DB-25 male multi-pin connector
Most audio equipment machine interfaces (as well as Wheatstone consoles) use
subminiature D-type connectors. Sometimes the interfaces require making two connec-
tions to a single DB pin. If the wiring has been set up using punchblocks, this is not a
problem; however, for situations where direct machine-to-console wiring is used, Wheat-
stone recommends the following procedure:
1) Connect the first wire to the desired pin as you normally would.
2) Note connector pins may easily be removed from the DB-25 shell with the wire still
attached: Hold the connector with the metal part down and observe its side. You
will see a row of "Vees"—simply press the top of the selected vee together with a
scribe or other sharp instrument; this will unlock the pin from the shell, allowing
it to be removed.
3) With the pin removed, strip out a short section of insulation from the connected
wire and wrap and solder the second wire to the first as shown above.
4) A short piece of heatshrink tubing (pictured here before being slid into place)
completes the connection.
5) Re-insert the pin into the DB-25 shell, spreading the vee apart to lock it in place.
