Assembling the Wire Contacts
1. Strip the wire insulation as shown in Figure 1. Crimp pins can accept 22 to
26 AWG wire.
2. Insert the wire up to the wire stop as shown in Figure 2.
3. Crimp with DDK crimp tool 357J-5538. Equivalent Amp part numbers are:
pin - #87666-2, connector - #102387-9, and crimp tool - #90418-1.
If a crimp tool is not available, use the following crimping procedure:
a. Crimp the wire barrel around the wire using small needle nose pliers.
b. Crimp the insulation barrel around the wire insulation using small needle
nose pliers.
c. Solder wire and wire barrel together using rosin core
(60% tin/ 40% lead) solder and soldering pencil.
4. Insert the wire contact into the socket as shown in Figure 3 and 4. Check to
make sure that the tang, shown as “A” in Figure 4, is properly latched by
lightly pulling on the wire.
TIP
Pins and connectors from different manufacturers
cannot be assembled together. For example, Amp pins
cannot be used with a DDK connector.
