Figure B- 2 .
4 Align the metal contacts of the ribbon connector over cable pin 1
( Figure B- 2 ) and the other pins, press the ribbon cable connector
onto the cable using a vise or clamp to press the contacts evenly
through the cable insulation. Continue to press the connector until
the metal contacts are no longer visible.

cable connector as shown in Figure B- 2 . Remove any excess cable
after the clamp is in place.
