OCTIS PLUG KIT ASSEMBLY – HYBRID, SIGNAL & POWER
8.1.2 Wire Depth
The wire shall be inserted into the IDC dimples so that the wire depth is greater than or
equal to dimension "ab" as measured from the connector insulator to the top of the wire
insulation in region "A" (views A and C of fig 4). A dial indicator (as depicted on fig 5) can
be used to measure the depth required. The dimension "ab" is based on the diameter of
the wire being used.
The measurement should be done when the insertion equipment is set up. If the
measurement is less than specified, reduce the depth of insertion until it meet. Contact
your FCI representative if the wire you selected cannot meet all requirements.
A standard depth gage is available for the measurement of "ab" as listed below. We have
observed that with some wire insulation types, the insulation gradually lifts off the wire after
insertion. For this reason, the measurement of wire depth "ab" should be made as soon
after insertion as possible to avoid incorrect low readings.
