2.1.7 Recommended Assembly Procedure
1.
Remove the Cable Gland from the Insulator and remove the contact.
2.
Slide the Cable Gland onto the cable being terminated.
3.
Carefully strip back the cable insulation by 42mm taking care not to damage any of the
conductors stranding.
4.
Insert the conductor stranding into the crimp bucket at the rear of the contact. Ensure that
the cable is straight within a distance of 1 metre of the crimping location. This ensures that
the individual cable wire strands are not distorted or displaced to each other caused by
bending the cable. With the crimping tool, crimp the contact twice making sure that the cable
is being forced into the contact and ensuring that the cable conductor is visible through the
inspection hole.
5.
Examine the crimped joint to ensure that the crimp is satisfactory. Ensure that all of the
conductor strands are contained within the crimped area.
