Operation
1.
Load a stack of connectors between the guide
blocks as shown in Figure 1-3.
2.
Pull the knob on the housing locator and move it
all the way to the left. See Figure 1-5.
3.
Move housing positioner towards the stack of
connectors. It should snap into place.
4.
Place the index and middle fingers on top of the
connector stack. Applying a slight downward
pressure, slide the connector stack forward until
the connector “snaps” into place. See Figure 1-6.
5.
Push the knob on the housing locator all the way
to the right.
6.
Load the wires individually by inserting them
through the wire guides into the holes of the
connector and up against the stop.
7.
Move housing positioner away from the connector.
WARNING: If the positioner is not moved, the
press ram will hit the positioner and damage it.
8.
When all wires are loaded, cycle the press by
pulling the press lever to the full down position.
This will press the two halves of the connector
together terminating the wires and latching the
connector halves together. This will also cut the
terminated connector from the stack.
9.
Return the press lever to the full up position.
10.
Remove the terminated connector assembly by
pressing down on the wire release lever and
sliding the assembly out to the right. See Figure
1-4.
NOTE:
The lower housing must be removed when
loading the first stack of connectors into the press. To
attach another stack, insert the upper housing at the
end of the first stack into the lower housing of the new
stack. See Figure 1-7.
