ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Strip wires. See above for correct strip
length for contact. Insert wire into rear of contact.
Wire insulation must push against rear of contact.

CONTACT SIZE COLOR
20 Red
16 Blue
12 Yellow
STEP 3: Insert contact and wire into tool jaws.
To crimp, squeeze handles together fully until
ratchet releases and allows handles to expand;
otherwise, contact cannot be extracted from tool
jaws. Maintain slight insertion pressure on wire
while crimping contact to wire.*
*IMPORTANT NOTE: Microsection the contact to verify crimp quality.
STEP 1: Remove backshell and put wired contacts
through cable clamp opening.
STEP 2: Use colored end of CIET tool for insertion.
Place wire into tool at large opening. To facilitate
contact insertion, a minimum six inches of free wire
is recommended.
STEP 3: Slide tool on wire while holding thumb
against wire at opening. Wire will slip into tool.
STEP 4: With tool pressed against shoulder of
contact, starting at the center cavity, insert wired
contact and tool into properly-identified cavity at
rear of plug with firm, even pressure. Do not use
excessive pressure.
STEP 5: When contact bottoms, a slight click can
be heard as tines of metal retaining clip snap into
place behind contact shoulder.
STEP 6: Check face of plug or receptacle for
proper contact installation. In socket inserts with
a large number of contacts, cavities are identified
in a spiral pattern. A projecting line from the spiral
indicates omission of a letter; a broken circle around
a cavity indicates transition between capitals, lower
case and double letters.
STEP 7: Withdraw tool from rear of plug. To be
sure that contact is locked, pull back lightly on
wire. Then remove tool from wire and proceed
with other contacts.
STEP 8: After all contacts are inserted, fill
unwired cavities with sealing plugs (insert head
first and leave end protruding for ease of removal),
assemble backshell on rear of connector.
