The AMP tool insulation dis-
placement connector system.
Note the right angle hood with
self-locking tabs. The tool,
multipin connectors (with gold
plated pins) and latching
hoods are supplied with each
control surface.
I/O Connections
All user wiring to and from the G-3 control surface is made via
connectors located on the control surface’s rear panel. Two 5-pin male
connectors at the left end of the control surface’s rear are for power
supply connections. Line level cue and headphone signals plug into the
female DB-9 connector, located next to power supply connectors.
These signals are routed to internal amplifiers that feed the internal cue
speaker and headphone jack. There are two RJ-45 connectors for
Ethernet connection and for CAT-5 connection. For all wiring pinout
connections refer to Chapter 4. The sketch below show connector
locations.
The Insulation Displacement Connector System
The I/O wiring interface system is based on insulation displacement
technology. A special AMP wiring tool is included with each control
surface; it is auto-indexing, and allows individual wire connections to
be positively made with a single squeeze of the tool's trigger. The
trigger action is ratchet controlled, and will not release until a full
connection is made. Once released, the multipin connector held in the
tool's jaw automatically indexes to the next connector pin. The technol-
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,
