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. NOTE Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in 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: millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are for reference only, and are not drawn to scale.
