Move TPA to Locked Position
The TPA must be moved to the closed (locked) position
after
all contacts have been inserted. Push the TPA
evenly into the plug housing until it is flush with the bottom of the housing. See Figure 2, Detail B.
NOTE
If the TPA does not move easily into the closed (locked) position, one or more of the contacts are not fully inserted. Move the
TPA to the open (unlocked) position (refer to Paragraph 2.3), and check that all contacts are fully inserted.
1.3.
Install Wire Dress Cover
The wire dress cover must be installed onto the plug housing
after
the TPA is moved to the closed (locked)
position.
1. Form a wire bundle, and move it toward the end of the housing opposite the rotating locking lever.
2. Align the bottom of the wire dress cover with the wire end of the housing so that the wire exit is over
the wire bundle. Then, position the retention tabs of the wire dress cover into the retention slots of the
housing. See Figure 3, Detail A.
3. Ensure that the wire bundle is completely captured within the wire dress cover and no wires are
pinched between the housing and the wire dress cover, then push the wire dress cover onto the
housing until both ends of the wire dress cover lock into place. There will be an audible and tactile
click. See Figure 3, Detail B.
4. Using tape or cable ties, secure the wire bundle to the wire dress cover.
