Amphenol disclaims any liability in the event of failure to comply with this assembly instruction. Non-Amphenol connectors, including those labeled as “Amphenol-compatible,” cannot be safely mated Amphenol elements. Amphenol connectors must only be mated with Amphenol components. Amphenol is not liable for any damage caused by mating unapproved connectors with Amphenol elements.

This connector is only suitable for cables with EN 50618, IEC62930, UL 4703 and USE-2 certification. 4.1.4 For use with others cable, do crimping and sealing performance verification first or contact Amphenol. 4.1.5 This connector is suitable for use only with Class B and C stranded copper conductors (See NFPA NEC 70 Chapter 9, Table 10)”.
4.3: Adjust Crimping Tool If needed, following below steps to adjust the pressure force to optimize crimping. Loosen the screw (A) with a screwdriver. Turn the dial counter (B) clockwise (+) to increase the crimping force. This also reduces the jaw spread. III.
4.5: Crimping Operation Process Tools Process Control Striping Length 7.0±0.5mm, don’t damage or cut the wire strands. Stripping H4TS0000 L=7±0.5mm • Put the contact at right crimping die and position. • Insert stripped cable into contact barrel and ensure all conductor strands are captured.
4.6: Crimping Tool Operation Misuse may cause personal injury, keep crimper out of reach from children. Do not insert fingers into the jaws of the tool. Before using the crimper, clean the die to prevent oil or other chemical material from polluting the contact and connector. Apply light oil to crimping die after using it (avoid blade and terminal contact with oil).
Action surface of connector, screw end cap and hold body of connector, as below picture 5.1.5. Picture 5.1.5 Amphenol specified wrench tool (H4TW0008) can be used in this step. Customer can choose to use open-end back cap spanner (Use H4TW200) if customer uses electric torque controlled wrench tool to tighten the cap.

Use the wrench tool to tighten the nut to the panel, see picture 5.2.2. The nut must be screwed to a proper torque range of 1.1 to 1.4 N·m. Picture 5.2.2 Insert terminal into back of male and female connector. A “click” should be heard or felt when the terminal is seated in right position.
5.3: Protection before Mating If the male and female connector is not inserted in a timely manner, measures should be taken to prevent dust, mois- ture, and other pollutants from the connector, that may result in terminal oxidation, or sealing failure. Dust caps are recommended (female end use H4SPF and male end use H4SPM) for protection.
Use the specified tool to open the connectors. Don’t pull directly or shake the connector back and forth wildly to open the connector. Amphenol specified wrench tool (H4TW0008) or Universal tool (H4TU0000) should be used in this step for H4 PRO Series, see below picture.
