Mate to plug shells with or without latches, or mate to another panel mount receptacle to create a bulkhead to bulkhead connection. For use with Powerpole® wire or PCB connectors.
Assembly Instructions
1. Strip insulation from the end of the wire to be terminated, being careful not to damage the copper conductors.
2. Terminate wire by inserting it into the contact and crimping, using a Powerpole crimping tool. For safety reason, crimping is recommended rather than soldering.
3. If Powerpoles are not already assembled into a block or cluster, slide them together so that they dovetail into the desired multipole configuration. Adjacent Powerpoles are properly aligned when they forma hole for the retaining in. Note: Spacer Keys (long and short) may be used to complete the Powerpole block whenever less than the maximum number of Powerpoles is required and they are ideal for satisfying any keying requirements.
4. Insert blocked Powerpole housing cluster into pak snap-in receptacle. Line up hole on pak snap- in receptacle with the hole in the center of the Powerpole cluster and insert retaining pin (not included) to secure the cluster into the snap-in receptacle.
5. Insert a contact and wire into each housing from the rear. Position contacts as shown and push forward using insertion/extraction tool, so that contact slips under the barrier and snaps over the end of the retaining spring. Repeat until all wires assembled with contacts have been firmly locked into their respective Powerpole housings.
