4.
Cut the cable core and the conductor insulation to
the dimensions shown. Do not notch the
conductors or the insulation. If the braid is
separated, trim the shield again as in step 2.
5. Slide the sleeve over the cable core and press the
sleeve against the shield wires.
Using minimum heat, solder the contacts to the
conductors.
CAUTION
Clean off any excess solder.
6. Bend the conductors and the contacts out at 90°
to the cable. Then bend the conductors back to
parallel (approximately 6.4 millimeters [0.25 inch]
between conductors).

9.
Slide the insulator over the contacts and the cable
so that the insulator touches the sleeve. Press all
the parts together. To ensure correct polarity, the
contact on the bare copper conductor of the cable
must go into the insulator hole that has a dot next
to it.

Align the slot in the insulator with the pin inside
the plug body. Insert the assembly into the plug
body. Tighten the clamp nut with 5.7 to 6.8 N.m
(50 to 60 inch Ibs) torque.
CAUTION
Do not allow the cable and plug body to twist as
the clamp nut is tightened.
Plug Body
Check for shorts between the conductors and
between each conductor and the plug body.
