The mounting shell must be bolted against the wiring panel. The insulator body
has a flexible rubber flange which is compressed by mounting shell to create a
dust and watertight seal. The receptacle must be mounted to a panel or wiring
box which meets applicable code for safety and protection to prevent contact
with terminal end. The proper mounting shell must be mated with the proper
colored insulator and contact assembly. See paragraph 1.1.9 for proper color code
and phase identification. Cable lugs are bolted to rear of bus bar on receptacle
contact. Care must be taken to support the cable to prevent excessive strain on
receptacle.
MALE CONNECTOR – Power side. FEMALE CONNECTOR – Machine side or
motor side.
The male connector assembly consists of a male contact and male insulator.
Metal coupler is also used for in-line cable connector.
The female connector assembly consists of a female contact and a female
insulator having a metal ring with a locking device locking groove.
The molded insulator has a ring molded inside to retain the contact. The ring has
two (2) U shape slots to accept two (2) pins on O.D. of contact.
The contact has drive pins plus a spring retainer locking ring which locks into the
ring inside of the insulator.
!
Cable and connectors are rated for 125°C (257°F), so heavy insulated gloves
must be worn when handling.
NOTE: A bonding ground conductor must be provided if required in accordance
with applicable electrical code. Ground shall be established first and opened last
when making set up. NOTE: Soldered connection is not acceptable for ground
by National Electrical Code
or Canadian Electrical Code. Ground lead must use
®
crimped, bolted or set screw means for attaching cable to contact or terminal.
ASSEMBLY STEPS
A. Cut cable to length.
B. Remove cable jacket 1-7/8 inch.
C. Crimp or solder conductor to contact. See Figure 3 below for tools. Wrap
one or two layers of neoprene tape over cable jacket to make positive seal
when cable clamp is tightened around insulator sleeve.
SOLDER OPERATION
Use Rosin Flux and 40-60 solder. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE HEAT ON CONTACTS
TO PREVENT DISTORTION AND DAMAGE TO SILVER PLATING.

NOTE: USE COPPER (CU) WIRE ONLY.
Make two crimps on undercut portion of contact.
These crimping presses and dies are available from most electrical supply
companies or from Thomas & Betts Corporation, 8155 T & B Boulevard
Memphis, TN 38125. Phone (901) 252-8000.
D. Insulator should be clamped to cable using a hose clamp or may be
vulcanized to the cable. Use one (1) or two (2) wraps of neoprene tape
over cable before pulling into insulator.
E. Position contact as shown in Figure 4 below by aligning the contact drive
pins with the slots on the rear of insulator. Push contact into insulator
from cable end of insulator. Push until pins on contact hit the ring inside
of insulator, rotate insulator while pushing against cable until pins align
with U shaped openings in internal ring. Push until retainer ring locks
into metal ring inside of insulator. Pull back on cable to determine that it
is locked together.
DO NOT ASSEMBLE WITHOUT SPRING RETAINER IN PLACE. HOSE
CLAMP DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE RETENTION. DO NOT
MOUNT IN VERTICAL POSITION.
DO NOT USE GREASE OR WIRE PULLING COMPOUND AS THIS
PREVENTS VULCANIZING IF INSULATORS ARE TO BE MOLDED
TO CABLE AND MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE OXIDATION IF LEFT ON
CONTACT SURFACES.
VULCANIZER OPERATION
1.
Plug the power supply cord into a 110 volt AC outlet fused for 15
amperes. DO NOT USE DC VOLTAGE.
2. Turn switch on. Pilot lights will glow. One pilot light indicates that the
power is on; the other pilot light indicates that molds are heating.
The molds are thermostatically controlled to maintain a molding temperature
of 325° to 350°F for neoprene jacketed cables. One pilot light will turn off
when mold temperature has been reached. This indicates that mold is ready
for use. Check mold temperature with TEMPIL -STIK
pilot light cycling on and off indicates that the thermostat is maintaining
the proper mold temperature. See maintenance section for instructions for
adjusting mold temperature.
