ogy is such that no stripping, soldering, or tinning of wire ends is required;
all that is needed is that the wires destined for the connector be snub cut and
laid out in order (although tubing should be used on bare drain wires). An
empty DB-9 connector is inserted into the tool, indexed to the first pin, and
the wires are inserted one by one into the jaw and the trigger squeezed. In
this way a single multipin connector can be completely wired up in a
minute or two. These connectors will accept wire gauge 22 - 26 AWG.
In the event of a wiring error, connector pins may easily be removed
from the shell with the wire still attached, and inserted into the correct
position. Observe the side of the connector, with the metal part down. You
will see a row of "Vees"—simply press the top of the vee together with a
scribe or other sharp instrument; this will unlock the pin from the shell, and
it can be removed and inserted into the correct position. Spread the vee
apart to lock the pin in the new position. It should never be necessary to
discard a connector due to a wiring error.
Note that mating hoods for each connector are also supplied with the
system. These have locking screws that hold the connectors securely to
their mates.
