2. Slide the collet nut

➀

and then the collet

➁

onto the cable.

1. Strip the cable according to the lengths given in the

table. Tin the conductors.

3. Solder conductors into contacts, making sure that neither

solder nor flux gets onto the insulator or cable insulation.

4. Slide the collet

➁

forward and locate tag

Slide collet nut

➀

over collet

➁

and then push the whole

assembly into the shell

➆

whilst turning it to ensure that the

tag

➂

locates in the inside slot of the shell. Tighten the collet

nut

➀

to the maximum torque of 0.25 Nm.

– Socket mounting nut torque = 1.5 Nm.

For PSU only:

We recommend ONLY the use of VTCS-6 Clear Vibra-tite or
ThreeBond 1401 to secure the connector backnut. The use of
other materials could result in damage to the connector.
The only recommended chemical cleaner is Isopropyl Alcohol.

2. Slide the collet nut

➀

and then the collet

➁

onto the cable.

1. Strip the cable according to the lengths given in the

table.

3. Fix the appropriate positioner (table page 23) in the crimping

tool. Set selector to the number corresponding to the
conductor AWG as indicated on the positioner label. Fit
conductor into contact

➃

and make sure it is visible through

the inspection hole in the crimp barrel. Slide conductor-
contact combination into the open crimping tool; make sure
that the contact is fully pushed into the positioner. Close the
tool. Remove from crimping tool and check that conductor
is secure in contact and shows in inspection hole.

4. Now arrange contact-conductor combinations according to

the insert marking and locate them into the insert

➅

. Check

that all contacts are correctly located and remain in position
when given a gentle pull.

2. Slide the backshell

➀

onto the cable

1. Strip the cable according to the lengths given in the

drawing. Tin the conductors.

3. Contact removal

Automated removal: if using automated equipment to
remove the contacts

➁

, cut as near to the curled portion of

the contact to minimize the size of the remaining attachment
tab.

Manual removal
Gently remove each of the individual contacts

➁

by breaking

in both directions as shown. If any portion of the attachment
tab remains on the contact

➁

, clip off to minimize risk of

shorting.

4. Solder conductors into contacts

➁

, making sure that neither

solder nor flux gets onto the cable insulation.

6. Slide backshell

➀

forward and align the tabs to the slots on

the plug

➂

. Snap backshell onto the plug to complete the

assembly. Various strain relief techniques can be
incorporated, depending on application.

7. If the need arises to remove an installed contact, during the

assembly process or subsequent repair, individual contacts
can be removed using LEMO extraction tool (part number:
DCF.91.050.2LT). DO NOT reuse extracted contacts.

The only recommended chemical cleaner is Isopropyl Alcohol.

5. Arrange the contact-conductor combinations according to

the marking on the plug

➂

and locate them into the plug by

gently pushing the contact-conductor into the proper hole
until fully seated. Check that all contacts

➁

are correctly

located and remain in position when given a gentle pull.
