OPERATION
5, The wires roust now be soldered to the pins as indicated In the above wiring tables, If vise
or clamping tool in available it Should be used to hold the pin receptacle body during the
soldering operation, so that both hands are free to perform the soldering.
If a vise or
clamping tool is not available, the pin receptacle body can be held In a stationary position
by inserting it Into the microphone lack on the front panel. The numbers of the microphone
plug are shown in Fig. 3, as viewed from the back of tine pug. Before soldering the wire to

Fig. 3 Microphone plug pin numbers viewed from rear of pin receptacle.
6. Be sure that the housing and the knurled ring of Figure 2 are pushed back onto the
microphone cable before starting to solder. It the washer Is not captive to the pin receptacle
body, make sum that It is placed on the threaded portion of the pin receptacle body before
soldering.
7. If the microphone lack is used to hold the pin receptacle during soldering operation, best
results are obtained when the connections to pin I and 3 are made first and then the
connections to pins 2 and 4. Use a minimum amount of soldering and be careful to prevent
excessive solder accumulation on pins, which could cause a snort between the pin and the
microphone plug housing,
B. When all soldering connections to the pins of the microphone are completed, push the
knurled ring and the housing forward and screw the housing onto the threaded portion of
the pin receptacle body, Note the location of the screw clearance hole in the plug housing
with respect to the threaded hole in the pin receptacle body. When the housing is
completely threaded into the pin receptacle body, a final fraction of a turn either clockwise
or counterclockwise may be required to align the screw hole with the threaded hole in the
pin receptacle body. When these are aligned, the retaining screw is then screwed into place
to secure the housing to the pin receptacle body.
