B. Boots and Seals (See Figure 5)
Rubber boots are available and can be used with jacketed cable to provide splash--proof connections for
Series 1 and Series 3 connectors. Heat shrinkable sealing boots are available for use with jacketed cable.
They will provide an environmentally sealed wire to--connector system and can be used with plugs or
receptacles. A jacketed cable seal will also provide an environmentally sealed connection for jacketed
cable. Peripheral seals (for receptacles only) are recommended for use in sealing splash--proof
applications, or where connectors will be subject to vibration. Instruction material is included in shipments.

C. Cable Bundle Tie- Off
When no strain relief is used and wires need to be tied off, tie--off distance should be 50.8 mm [2.00 in.]
minimum for up to 12 circuits and 76.2 mm [3.00 in.] minimum for 12 circuits or more. Supporting the cable
with wire harness tie--off will avoid strain on the contact retention system, and will prevent contact
back--out or failures. See Figure 6.
