Connector Assembly & Maintenance
Upon order, REF TEK will supply any or all of our standard connector cables Also, REF TEK will
construct any custom cables your system needs. For some of the more standard connector/cable
drawings of commonly used assemblies see 130-MC cables on page 69.
When making the connections follow industry standard practices in dressing the cable end,
soldering the connections and applying shrink tubing. The use of self-vulcanizing tape is
preferred to potting the connector since with potting, the connector is no longer field
serviceable.
Note: For additional moisture protection, apply DL-111 inside the top shell to seal against the rubber grommet.
Bottom shell must rotate freely after the top shell has been firmly tightened into the connector body.
The recommended periodic connector maintenance and usage is as follows:
1.
Plugs labeled “PT06” have a superintending outer locking collar with a machined inner groove that
locks onto the pegs in the side of the panel mount mate receptacle. When removing a PT06 connector,
move it out of the locked position by first applying a downward force on the outer collar and then
twisting it free in a counter-clockwise direction.
2.
Be careful with tools when gripping connectors - use tools with nylon fittings in the jaws if you can, and
do not apply excessive force.
3.
The connectors have a machined groove inside. To avoid damaging this groove, you must apply a
downward force while turning. Because connectors for the 130 DAS units are constructed of an alloy,
excessive force on the locking groove can cause burrs which make subsequent installation and removal
of the connectors more difficult.
4.
Do not attempt to remove a plug with pliers.
