b. If using soldered contacts, prep each wire with flux and then tin dip each exposed wire

end. Next pre-load a piece of heat shrink onto the wire (Individual heat shrink tubes are

optional). Solder each wire to the solder cup end of the contact. To avoid shorts, make

sure that no solder comes in contact with any other contact or wire on the connector.

After the contact has been soldered to the wire, check each contact to insure that the

contact is securely soldered to the wire. Slide the pre-loaded heat shrink over the solder

joint and shrink into place. Do not over-heat the solder joint area as it can cause the

solder to re-flow or it could burn the wire insulation.

5. If inserting removable contacts:

a. Starting with the interface end of the contact, carefully insert each contact into the

backside of the insulator that has the position loading path indicator (worm) on it. Start

with the end of the position loading path indicator (worm) that has the half circle on it

(Position #1). Then follow the position loading path indicator (worm) around the

insulator. You will go counter clockwise if using a male contact and clockwise if using

a female contact (see diagram below for the position loading path indicator (worm)

layout). If the connector has center contacts, it is sometimes easier to start at the end of

the position loading path indicator (worm) (last position) and work backwards. This is

up to the assembler and the process they are using to insert the contacts. Make sure not

to bend the contact when inserting it into the insulator. It is extremely important that the

contact is completely seated in to the insulator. For the connector to function properly,

the contact should click/snap into place when seated. To confirm the seating of the

contact, check each contact for proper seating.
