Connector Assembly Instructions
Assembling an Inline Plug and an Inline Receptacle Connectors
1)
Slide the Cable Gland onto the cable about 12”, threaded end last.
2)
Slide the Cable Adapter onto the cable, up to the Cable Gland, large diameter first.
3)
Slide the Coupling nut onto the cable, up to the Cable Adapter, Grub Screw end first.
4)
Group all conductors according to size to facilitate orderly termination.
5)
Working on one conductor at a time, strip the insulation off per the wire stripping length given in
Figure 1 on Page 2, and terminate a contact to it, using a properly adjusted crimp tool, following
crimp instruction found in section II on page 2. Repeat the process for each conductor.
6)
Make sure the Grub Screws are fully retracted, then slide the Coupling Nut up onto the Plug Shell,
until seated against its mating shoulder.
7)
Apply thread–lock compound (Loc-tite 242, blue, or equal) to the threads on the Plug Shell, per
the compound manufacturers’ recommendations.
8)
Thread the Cable Adapter onto the Plug Shell, hand-tighten, and then wrench fully to shoulder
using a strap wrench. The Plug Shell can be restrained during this procedure, by mating it with a
Panel Mount Receptacle Shell that is held in a table mounted vise.
9)
After hand tightening the Ex Gland onto the Cable Adapter, refer to Amphenol’s EX-35/EX-45
Cable Gland Fitting Instructions, for instruction on complete securement of the Cable Gland to the
cable adapter, and seal compression around the cable jacket. In terms of the Amphe-Ex series, the
“Cable Adapter” is considered an “enclosure”, and should be treated as such, where referenced in
the Gland Fitting Instructions.

NOTES ON GROUNDING:
a.
Internal earthing is provided as applicable via use of available contact pin/sleeve(s) as
earthing facilities.
b.
External earthing is provided via the flange on the receptacle, providing a connection
point for external earthing hardware/fasteners, as applicable and to be provided by the
end user. However, the equipment is intended to be utilised with cables incorporating an
earthing conductor, or a braided shield, which is to be terminated and used as an earth
conductor.
11)
NOTES ON INGRESS PROTECTION:
a.
Outside of the certification standards, the product has been assessed suitable for an IPx8
rating; tested at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes.
b.
If an IPx8 rating is a requirement, it is to be specified at the placement of order to assure
that the correct ingress rated cable gland is provided as a component of the connector
assembly.
Preparing a Bulkhead Receptacle Connector for Enclosure Mounting.
•
All receptacle shells have, contained within them, contact retaining insulators that are permanently
installed by the factory.
1)
Restrain the Receptacle Shell by holding it in a table mounted vise, using a judicious amount of
pressure to secure it, without damaging the flange.
2)
Slide the Bulkhead Adapter up onto the cable, or conductor group; knurled end first.
3)
Terminate each conductor with its proper contact.
