DESCRIPTION There are three types of cable clamp assemblies covered in this instruction sheet: - Straight/45 one-piece - Straight/90 one-piece - Straight/90 two-piece The clamp assemblies are held together by screws supplied in the kit. The cable clamp assemblies can be used on either plug or receptacle connectors. TOOLING ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-800-722-1111 This controlled document is subject to change.

ATTACHING CABLE CLAMP ASSEMBLIES 3.2. Straight/90 One-Piece Assembly Insert the contacts into the connector as described on Instruction Sheet 408-7514, which is packaged with the connector. Select the proper cable clamp from the table in Figure 1. A carrier strip with strain-relief gates is packaged with each assembly. The size of the gate used depends on the diameter of the cable. Discrete-wire bundles use blank gates; jacketed cables use curved gates. 1. Remove the proper gate from the carrier strip. 3.1. Straight/45 One-Piece Assembly 1. Position the flange of the connector into the cable clamp slot shown in Figure 1. Place the longer row of contact positions in the bottom so that the wires are not pinched when the clamp is closed. 2. Position the cable in the strain-relief channel. 2. Insert the connector into the clamp with the longer row of contacts in the bottom. Position the cable in the strain-relief channel. 3. Insert the gate into the cable clamp slot, as shown in Figure 1. NOTE The largest blank (unused outlet) can be installed with either flat side in the slot. The other blank 3. Position the strain-relief gate in the clamp for either a 45_ or a 180_ outlet. The gate must enter the gate slot in the clamp. 4. For Size 1 or 2 shell, place the brass shim between the gate and the screw channel. See Figure 2. 5. Position the cable in the cable channel and close the clamp. 6. Secure the clamp with self-tapping screws, as follows: 1 screw for shell size 1 2 screws for shell size 2 3 screws for shell sizes 3, 4, or 5 i 4. Position the cable over the gate and close the cable clamp. 5. Thread the screws into the holes in the cable clamp and tighten them to complete the assembly. 3.3. Straight/90 Two-Piece Assembly 1. Lay the connector and cable in one half of the clamp. Thread a cable tie through the internal tie openings and secure the cable to the clamp as tightly as possible. 3. Secure the assembly with the fillister-head screws and hex nuts supplied. CAUTION instead of the black gate screw. ! clamp halves are assembled. The cable tie knots should be tucked into the cable clamp for a neater appearance. 8. Push a small amount of wire into the clamp to provide strain relief on the wire bundle. Thread the gage screw in until the gate is firmly holding the wires. Do NOT overtighten the screw. 2 of 2 If the wire bundle is dressed at 90 , use cable ties through the external tie openings after the Size 1 and 2 shells use a black gate screw. Size 3, 4, and 5 shells use a gate setscrew and nut i section touching the cable. 2. Install the other clamp half, and captivate the two mounting screws. See Figure 1. 7. Secure the gate screw or gate setscrew. Thread the gate screw in until the gate is firmly holding the cable. Do NOT overtighten the screw. NOTE gates should be installed with the strain-relief 4.
