Installing Amphenol connectors
The Amphenol C016 ecomate series power cable connectors used with the LC Plus accept power cable
from 6 mm (0.24 in.) to 9 mm (0.35 in.) diameter when fitted with a standard cable gasket, or from 9 mm
(0.35 in.) to 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) diameter when fitted with an optional heavy gauge cable gasket.
If you need to install an Amphenol C016 series cable connector on a power cable for connection to an LC
Plus panel:
1. Ensure that the power cable is UL-listed, 16 AWG minimum in North America or 3 x 1.5 mm
2
minimum
in other regions, 3-conductor Hypalon or neoprene rubber-jacket type, approved for a current of 16 A
and a temperature of 90° C (194° F) minimum.
2. Obtain a female cable connector (Amphenol C016 20 D 003 100 12) for power input or a male cable
connector (Amphenol C016 20 H 003 100 12) for power out/throughput.
3. See Figure 9. Pass the cable through the cable nut, correct gasket for the cable diameter, clamping ring
and back shell.
4. Strip 18-19 mm (0.70-0.75 in.) of cable jacket and then strip 7-8 mm (0.27-0.31 in.) of insulation from
each conductor (as indicated for screw contacts with internal cable retention in Figure 9). Twist the bared
strands at the end of each conductor to strengthen them.
5. Fasten the conductors in the cable into the screw terminals in the male or female contact insert as
follows:
When installing an Amphenol C016 series power connector in a single-phase system:
