3. ATTACHING CABLE CLAMP ASSEMBLIES
Insert the contacts into the connector as described on
Instruction Sheet 408--7514, which is packaged with the
connector . Select the proper cable clamp from the table
in Figure 1.
3.1. Straight/45 One- Piece Assembly
1. Position the flange of the connector into the
cable clamp slot shown in Figure 1. Place the
longer row of contact positions in the bottom so
that the wires are not pinched when the clamp is
closed.
2. Position the cable in the strain--relief channel.
3. Position the strain--relief gate in the clamp for
either a 45_ or a 180_ outlet. The gate must enter
the gate slot in the clamp.
4. For Size 1 or 2 shell, place the brass shim
between the gate and the screw channel. See
Figure 2.
5. Position the cable in the cable channel and
close the clamp.
6. Secure the clamp with self--tapping screws, as
follows:
1 screw for shell size 1
2 screws for shell size 2
3 screws for shell sizes 3, 4, or 5
7. Secure the gate screw or gate setscrew. Thread
the gate screw in until the gate is firmly holding the
cable. Do NOT overtighten the screw.
Size 1 and 2 shells use a black gate screw. Size
3, 4, and 5 shells use a gate setscrew and nut
instead of the black gate screw.
8. Push a small amount of wire into the clamp to
provide strain relief on the wire bundle. Thread the
gage screw in until the gate is firmly holding the
wires. Do NOT overtighten the screw .
3.2. Straight/90 One- Piece Assembly
A carrier strip with strain--relief gates is packaged with
each assembly. The size of the gate used depends on
the diameter of the cable. Discrete--wire bundles use
blank gates; jacketed cables use curved gates.
1. Remove the proper gate from the carrier strip.
2. Insert the connector into the clamp with the
longer row of contacts in the bottom. Position the
cable in the strain--relief channel.
3. Insert the gate into the cable clamp slot, as
shown in Figure 1.
The largest blank (unused outlet) can be installed
with either flat side in the slot. The other blank
gates should be installed with the strain--relief
section touching the cable.
4. Position the cable over the gate and close the
cable clamp.
5. Thread the screws into the holes in the cable
clamp and tighten them to complete the assembly.
3.3. Straight/90 Two- Piece Assembly
1. Lay the connector and cable in one half of the
clamp. Thread a cable tie through the internal tie
openings and secure the cable to the clamp as
tightly as possible.
2. Install the other clamp half, and captivate the
two mounting screws. See Figure 1.
3. Secure the assembly with the fillister--head
screws and hex nuts supplied.
If the wire bundle is dressed at 90, use cable
ties through the external tie openings after the
clamp halves are assembled. The cable tie knots
should be tucked into the cable clamp for a
neater appearance.
