 GENERAL

DS and DSN Multipin products are used for power 

and control.  They can carry loads as well as low level 

signals and information.  DS and DSN Multipin devices 

comply with applicable IEC standards. 

Please follow the instructions below to ensure the 

proper installation, operation and maintenance of this 

product.

There are inherent dangers 

associated with electrical 

products. Failure to follow safety precautions can 

result in serious injury or death. These instructions must 

be followed to ensure the safe and proper installation, 

operation and maintenance of the MELTRIC devices. 

Before installation, disconnect all sources of power to 

the circuit to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.

 INSTALLATION

DS and DSN Multipins should be installed by 

qualified electricians in accordance with all 

applicable local and national electrical codes.  

Before starting, verify that the power is off, that the 

product ratings are appropriate for the application, and 

that the conductors meet code requirements and are 

within the capacities of the terminals noted in Table 1.

General Notes & Precautions

  1. Self-tapping screws are provided for use with

    some polymeric accessories.  High torque may be  

    required to drive them in.  

NOTICE: 

Once they    

    are seated, care should be taken in order to avoid  

    over-tightening them against the plastic material.
  2. Various handles and cord grip options may be    

    used.  These instructions are based on handles    

    provided with integral multi-layer bushing cord grips. 

 

 3. 

NOTICE:

 MELTRIC threaded handles come with  

    tapered style threads. The use of fitting seal tape   

    is recommended to maintain watertightness of all   

    NPT fittings and joints.

Crimped/Soldered Terminal Wire Connections:

For 16 AWG Wires, the Ferrule is required:
  1. Strip each conductor to 25/64-inches (10-mm).
  2. Insert Ferrule into contact.
  3. Insert stripped wire end into Ferrule.

    (Perform either step 4 or 5)
  4.  For Crimping the Contacts, use either North  

 

    American Contact Crimping Tool 4CN30 (using    

    crimping slot 12-10) or Crimp contact with  

 

    European Contact Crimping Tool 61-CA500 

    (using 4 MM slot).
 5. 

NOTICE: 

Soldering of the wire into the contact    

    must be performed with the contact out 

     of the Interior Insulator to prevent damage 

    to the  insulator. 
  •  Using tin solder and a 50W soldering iron, heat    

    the terminal for approximately 30 seconds.  

 

    While heating, apply the soldering wire into the    

    hole at the bottom of the terminal and let it 

    penetrate by capillary action. Let it cool down  

 

    without any mechanical stress.
  6. Slide the Heat Shrink Insulation Sleeve over the    

    contact until it butts up against the contact 

   shoulder. 

NOTICE: 

Sleeve must be applied to

    maintain creepage and clearance distance.  

 

    Please see picture.

 
  7. With a Heat Gun that has a temperature range    

    of 600°F to 950°F, apply heat evenly 360°  

 

    around the sleeve until it shrinks around the  

 

    contact and wire.

 

For 14 AWG Wires (Max), the Ferrule is not required:
  1. Strip each conductor to 25/64-inches (10-mm).
  2. Insert wire into contact.

    (Perform either step 3 or 4)
  3. For Crimping the Contacts, use either North  

 

    American Contact Crimping Tool 4CN30 (using    

    crimping slot 8) or Crimp contact with European    

    Contact Crimping Tool 61-CA500 (using 4 MM slot).
 4. 

NOTICE:

 Soldering of the wire into the contact,    

    must be performed with the contact out of the    

    Interior Insulator to prevent damage to the insulator. 
  •  Using tin solder and a 50W soldering iron, heat    

    the terminal for approximately 30 seconds.  

    While heating, apply the soldering wire into the    

    hole at the bottom of the terminal and let it 

    penetrate by capillary action. Let it cool down  

 

    without any mechanical stress.
  5. Slide the Heat Shrink Insulation Sleeve over the    

    contact until it butts up against the contact  

   shoulder. 

NOTICE: 

Sleeve must be applied to 

    maintain creepage and clearance distance.  

 

    Please see picture.

  6. With a Heat Gun that has a temperature range    

    of 600°F to 950°F, apply heat evenly 360°  

 

    around the sleeve until it shrinks around the  

 

    contact and wire.

 

Assembly of Contacts

Once wired, the contacts must be inserted into the 

rear of their respective insulating block.  The rear side 

of the inlet/plug or receptacle/connector is 

considered as the flat surface of the 4-bolt hole 

mounting surface.

Assembly 

  Disassembly

 1. 

NOTICE:

 Before insertion of a contact into an    

    insulator, please review the insulator’s contact

    numbering scheme so the ground and each 

    contact (phase) is placed into the proper hole.
  2. Push the wired contact into the insulating block    

    until it stops and snaps into place.
  3. Ensure its correct mounting by slightly pulling on   

    the contact.
  4. The male contacts are solid for their entire  

 

    length and are inserted with the contact tip first    

    into the rear of the inlet/plug.

 

  5. The female contacts consist of a flexible braid    

    and spring and are inserted with the contact tip    

    first into the rear of the lidded receptacle/connector.
  6. Insert the Provided Hole Plugs into the unused    

    holes in the front of each insulating block.

  

NOTICE: 

 If a new Receptacle or Inlet is to mate   

    with a previously installed device, pay particular    

    attention to the number of contacts and 

    numbered position in the Receptacle or Inlet.  

 

    Continuity will not be obtained unless the male    

    and female contacts are appropriately mated.

Disassembly of Contacts

  1. To remove the contact from the insulating 

    block,  the provided Multi-Contact Removal Tool 

    9-LD12-37 must be used. From the front side of    

    the insulating block, slide the contact removal    

    tool over the contact.
  2. Push until the contact pops out the back side of    

    the insulating block.
 3. 

NOTICE: 

Each contact is designed to be  

 

    removed from the insulating block a maximum 

    of 3 times. New contacts should be used if 

    contacts are removed more than 3 times.

Voltage Labels

Always have a qualified electrician complete 

the installation and apply one of the supplied 

voltage labels that best describe the voltage    

 

application level.  

WARNING:

 For safety reasons, it is always recom-

mended to use a ground wire.  Please reference 

your local codes for specific electrical requirements. 

Assembly for In-Line Connections

When DS and DSN Multipins are used as in-line  con-

nectors, finger drawplates should be installed on both 

the receptacle and plug in order for the user to more 

easily provide the leverage required to connect the 

device.

Adjust the bushing diameter to fit the cable by removing 

inner sections of it as required.  Insert the bushing 

into the strain relief, then insert the assembly into the 

handle and loosely install the compression nut.  Insert 

the cable through the handle, the thin black drawplate 

gasket and finger drawplate (if applicable) and the 

color coded gasket.  Strip the cable sheath to provide 

a workable wire length, being mindful that the sheath 

must extend into the handle to achieve a secure cord 

grip.   Then strip the individual wires to 25/64” and 

twist the strands of each conductor together.  

Verify that the cable sheath extends beyond the strain 

relief and into the handle.  Assemble the receptacle 

(or inlet), the color coded gasket, the finger drawplate, 

and the thin black drawplate gasket to the handle with 

the four self-tapping screws provided.
