4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until all applicable

contacts are terminated.

5. Slide the connector out of the head in the

direction of the arrow.

6. Inspect each terminated contact according to

Figure 4. If any contact does not meet the

requirements, DO NOT use the connector. Refer to

Section 4 for adjustments.

For application requirements for the connectors,

refer to application specification 114--40002.

For assembly procedure, refer to 408--6621 for

all plastic connectors and 408--6645 for metal

shell connectors.

4. ADJUSTMENTS

4.1. Wire Insertion Depth

If the wire is inserted too deep or not deep enough in

the contact after termination, adjust the wire insertion

depth as follows:

A. Pneumatic Power Units

To avoid personal injury when using pneumatic

power units, ALWAYS disconnect the air supply

before making any adjustments.

Increase the air pressure by 10 psi [69 kPa]. Repeat

the termination and inspection procedure. Continue in

this manner until the proper wire insertion depth is

obtained or the air pressure is set to 70 psi [483 kPa].

If proper wire insertion depth is not obtained at 70 psi

[483 kPa], return the air pressure to 40 psi [276 kPa]

and follow Paragraph B.

For pneumatic power units, it might be necessary

to adjust either the air pressure or the adjuster

(inserter rod).

B. Manual and Electric Power Units

To prevent personal injury when using electric

power units, ALWAYS disconnect the electrical

power supply before making any adjustments.

1. Remove the head from the power unit according

to the instructions packaged with the power unit.

Make sure to observe any cautions and dangers.

2. Turn the adjuster (inserter rod) one--sixth of a

revolution clockwise if the wire is too deep in the

contact, and counterclockwise if the wire is not

deep enough in the contact. Refer to Figure 3. This

will decrease or increase the wire insertion depth

by approximately 0.20 mm [.008 in.].

3. Install the head onto the power unit according to

the instructions packaged with the power unit.

Make sure to observe any cautions and dangers.

4.2. Wire Guide

If the connector cannot be inserted into the head, the

connector is too loose in the head, or the connector

housing is damaged after termination, refer to Figure

1, and adjust the wire guide as follows:

1. For pneumatic power units, disconnect the air

supply. For electric power units, disconnect the

electrical power supply.

2. Loosen the two screws on the wire guide.

3. Slide the wire guide until the connector fits

properly in the head.

4. Finger--tighten the screws.

5. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

5.1. Inspection

Regular inspections should be performed by quality

control personnel with a record of quality control

inspections remaining with the personnel responsible
