NOTE: Assembly instructions for the 4, 6, 10, 20 and 35 conductor plugs are identical.
STEP 1:
Slide the cable clamp, rubber bushing, back shell and coupler over the cable. Strip the ends of the wires to the dimension shown.
STEP 2:
Insert the proper wires into the contacts within the front shell and solder in place with the 60-40 rosin core solder. Snap ring and rear insulator can be removed, which would allow contacts to be more easily soldered.
STEP 3:
Slide the coupler over the front shell, then thread the back shell onto the front shell and tighten. Slide the rubber bushing inside the cable clamp. Thread the cable clamp onto the back shell and tighten. Moderately tighten the clamp on the cable.
Thermocouple
NOTE: Assembly instructions for the 2, 3, 5, and 10 pair thermocouple plugs are identical.
STEP 1:
Slide the cable clamp, rubber bushing, back shell and coupler over the cable. Strip the ends of the wires to the dimension shown.
THERMOCOUPLE LEAD IDENTIFICATION
Darkened circles indicate placement of the positive (+) thermocouple leads and the empty circles indicate placement of the negative (-) thermocouple leads.
STEP 2:
Insert the proper thermocouple material into the properly identified holes in the back insert. Slide the proper contact on its corresponding conductor and crimp in place as shown.
STEP 3:
Insert the contacts into the correct holes of the front insert. Notice that the alignment slots are in line upon assembly.
STEP 4:
Slide the front and back inserts together and insert them into the front shell. Secure them in place with the retaining ring.
STEP 5:
Slide the coupler over the front shell, then thread the back shell onto the front shell and tighten. Slide the rubber bushing inside the cable clamp. Thread the cable clamp onto the back shell and tighten. Moderately tighten the clamp on the cable.
CIRCULAR PLUG MIL-C-5015 TYPE (125° C MAX.)
Darkened circles indicate placement of the positive (+) thermocouple leads and the empty circles indicate negative (-) thermocouple leads when viewed from the vacuum side.
