1) Feed cables through required length of braiding. It may be advisable to secure the cables together
with electrical tape or similar to prevent wires becoming entangled in braiding. Leave the tape on
until instructed to remove it later in these instructions.
2) Feed Band-It tie over cables and braiding for application later.
3) Feed cabling through ellipse/circular feature of backshell as shown below. Again, securing the cables
together with electrical tape or similar may ease this process.
4) If tape was used, remove it now. Crimp the Datamate contacts onto the wires, and insert the
contacts into the moulding. Please consult the relevant Instruction sheets: for crimping instructions
see Instruction Sheet IS-01 for more details. For contact insertion into moulding see instruction sheet
IS-25. All instruction sheets can be found at
http://www.harwin.com/downloads/instructions/ .
5) Terminate the braiding to the backshell using the Band-It tie. Harwin strongly recommend that all
terminations are made so that the locking lip of the Band-It Tie Dex is positioned along the longer
portion of the backshell exit to ensure a uniform band and braid compression (see example below).
This also prevents the locking lip of the tie obstructing jackscrew insertion at a later stage. For full
tooling instructions on the Band-It Tie Dex go to
http://www.band-it.co.uk/tooling.htm and select
tool A590 for full details.
