place while squeezing the tool handles to
crimp the contact onto the wire. The tool
handles automatically release and spring open
after the crimp cycle is complete.
A properly crimped contact receptacle is inserted
and locked into the appropriate connector hous-
ing following the pin-out diagrams found in the
Module Connections
section (pages 17 to 23). Note
that the receptacle contact must be inserted with
its locking tab side facing the locking tab slots on
the side of the connector housing. A light “click”
will be felt as the contact’s locking tab engages
the locking tab slot.
A Contact Removal Tool (PR&E 70-129) is used
to depress the locking tab if the contact and wire
need to be pulled out of the connector.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Audio connector pin assignments take visual
advantage of the three-pins-per-row design of the
three-pin and six-pin AMP MOD IV connectors
for both analog and digital connections.
Logic control cables are fabricated in a similar
manner to the audio wiring. Strip the jacket insu-
lation back 1½" [38.10 mm], sleeve the cut end
with 3/4" [19.05 mm] of shrink tubing and strip
the insulation from each wire 9/64" [3.572 mm].
CRIMP TOOL OPERATION
A ratcheting AMP MOD IV hand crimper is
included in the tool kit. The tool crimps both the
insulation and wire barrels on the AMP MOD IV
receptacle contacts in one crimp action.
Follow these instructions for using the ratcheting
crimp tool:
1. Hold the crimp tool with the printed side up.
Insert the contact from the opposite side, with
the barrel openings up, until the insulation
barrel end is flush to the opening of the die.
Close the tool only until the anvil holds the
contact in place. Refer to the cutaway view.
2. Insert the stripped wire into the contact until
it hits the tool’s wire stop. Hold the wire in
