Page 127: To Assemble A Mdr Connector
Use a wire stripper to remove approximately 1/16” of the wire insulation from each of the required conductors (see Figure 6-3). Figure 6-3 Stripped Wires Solder wire 1 to pin 1 on the connector. To locate pin 1, see Figure 6-4. Figure 6-4 MDR Connection Pin Locations ©2011 Harris Corporation. All rights reserved.
Page 128 Repeat Step 2 for each connector position. Install the grounding strap to the connector so that the long tab is placed underneath the connector (see Figure 6-5). Figure 6-5 Grounding Strap Placement ©2011 Harris Corporation. All rights reserved.
Page 129 Position the lower shell onto the connector as shown in Figure 6-6. Figure 6-6 Lower Shell Placement Attach the upper shell to the lower shell and tighten it using a #1 Phillips head screwdriver (see Figure 6-6).
