1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers the assembly of the
Female Screwlock Kits and the Male Screw Retainer
Kits onto AMPLIMITE* connectors.
These kits are designed to secure mating connectors
in panel–mounted or free–hanging applications. For
panel–mount applications, it is recommended that the
female screwlock kit be assembled on the panel–
mounted connector. Read these instructions
thoroughly before assembling either kit.
All dimensions on this document are in metric
units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].
Figures and illustrations are for reference only
and are not drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue are provided in Section 7,
REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
The screwlock kit contains two identical screwlock
component assemblies. Each assembly consists of
one screwlock, two flat washers, one lockwasher, and
one nut (see Figure 1).
The screw retainer kit contains two identical screw
retainer component assemblies. Each assembly
consists of one retainer and one retainer screw.
The screwlock kits and the corresponding screw
retainer kits are available in various dimensions, with
applications for a full range of contact sizes on both
metal and plastic connector shells. See Figure 1 table
for female screwlock kits and Figure 2 table for male
screw retainer kits.

3. ASSEMBLING SCREWLOCK KITS
Screwlock component assemblies must be installed
on the connectors as follows:
Recommended torque for the screwlock
assemblies is .45 N
D
m [4 in.-lb.].
1. For free–hanging application, install two flat
washers on the screwlock and insert the screwlock
through the connector flange. Secure the assembly
with lockwasher and nut.
2. For front–mounted panel applications, install two
flat washers on the screwlock and insert the
screwlock through the connector flange and panel.
Secure assembly with a lockwasher and nut.
3. For rear–panel mounted applications, install as
follows: NO flat washers on screwlock if panel
thickness is 1.52 mm [.060 in.] or greater; ONE flat
washer if panel is 0.66 to 1.52 mm
[.026 to .060 in.] thick; TWO flat washers if panel
thickness is less than 0.64 mm [.025 in.]. Insert
screwlock (with appropriate number of flat washers
installed) through the panel and the connector
flange. Secure with lockwasher and nut.
4. ASSEMBLING SCREW RETAINER KIT
(Figure 2)
Both screw retainer component assemblies must be
installed on the connector. Install each assembly as
follows:
Style 1 Retainer:
1. Align the slotted side of the retainer with the
BACK of connector flange.
2. Slide retainer onto flange and align holes.
3. Thread retainer screw through retainer from
BACK of flange.
Style 2 Retainer:
1. Align the notched side of the retainer with the
FRONT of connector flange.
2. Mount retainer screw onto connector flange.
3. Slide retainer clip around the connector flange
and the mounting screw.
The clip will snap in place when properly
assembled.
