1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the installation and

application of SDL Flat–Cable Plug Connector Cable

Guide/Adapters 63394–1 and 63396–1. These cable

guide/adapters are used to convert 8– or 16–position

SDL Flat–Cable Plug Connectors for use with a

4–position flat cable.

Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in

millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are

for reference only, and are not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 4, REVISION SUMMARY.

Read these instructions carefully before installing the

adapter.

2. DESCRIPTION

The cable guide/adapter is a formed metal insert

which is positioned within the cable cavity of an 8– or

16–position SDL Flat–Cable Plug Assembly. The

adapter properly orients a four–position flat cable so

that it is centered on four contacts of the 8– or

16–position plug. The adapter provides additional

shielding for the finished plug assembly. Refer to

Figure 1.

3. INSTALLATION

When using an 8– or 16–position SDL Flat–Cable

Plug Assembly with a keying configuration compatible

with your receptacle application, and a four–position

flat cable, see Figure 2. Installation is as follows:

1. Strip the 4–position cable by removing 11.68

+0.25 [.460 +.010] of outer jacket from the cable.

Refer to Figure 1.

2. Grasp the plug connector and hold it with the

gold contacts facing up.

3. Grasp the cable guide/adapter with the tabs UP

and insert it into the plug cavity as shown in

Figure 2. Push the adapter into the cavity until it

latches on the cantilevered metal flaps in the cavity

and the adapter tabs are flush with the cavity

opening.

It is important to have the adapter properly

orientated as shown in Figure 2. Once the

adapter has been inserted, it may not be

removed.

4. Insert the stripped 4–position cable into the plug

cavity created by the guide/adapter until the

conductors are bottomed in the cavity.

5. Examine the mating face of the plug connector

to ensure that the conductors are against the inner

surface of the mating face. Refer to Figure 3.

6. Terminate the plug connector in accordance with

the instructions packaged with the termination

tooling.

For additional information regarding SDL

Flat-Cable Plug Connectors, refer to Application

Specification 114-2086.

Damaged product should not be used. If

damaged product is evident, it should be cut from

the cable and replaced with a new one.
