Disassembly

1 Fix the plug in the assembly fixture (RM15TP-T01 (CL150-0098-0)), then remove the insulator body (P) and the back shell.

Right-angle plugs have set screws in the tightening ring at 2 locations. Loosen the set screws before removing the back shell.

2 Remove the 2 screws of the strain relief clamp, and then remove the clamp from the tightening collar.

Wiring

1 Assure that the cable outer diameter will fit the strain relief clamp, and is prepared as recommended in Table 1.

It is recommended that the exposed conductors be pre-soldered, to assure easier insertion in the soldering cup.

2 Pass the parts over the cable in the order of: tightening collar, washer, bushing, back shell, and coupling. Refer to the drawings

(above) for assembly orientation of all components.

3 Solder the wires to the contacts of the insulator body (P).

Use of heat-shrink tubing or another insulating media between the soldered contacts is suggested.

Connector Assembly

Straight Plugs

1 Place the completely wired insulator body (P) in the assembly fixture secured in a vise. Insert in the coupling, then back shell. The

back shell should be tightened to a torque of 3 N•m.

Right-angle Plugs

1 Place the completely wired insulator body (P) in an assembly fixture secured by a vise. Insert in the coupling, then back shell (with

tightening ring). When attaching the back shell, orient the cable in the desired direction and fasten the tightening ring to the

insulator body (P) with a torque of 3 N•m. After this, tighten and fix the 2 sets crews with a torque of 0.2 to 0.3 N•m.

Additional assembly recommendations:

In applications where continuous extremely high vibrations may be encountered it is recommended that a thread locking

compound be applied to male threads prior to assembly (Loctite 271 ˛ manufactured by Henkel Japan K.K. or equivalent)

Waterproof verification - plug assembly

Apply air pressure of 17.6 kPa for 30 seconds from the mating side of the plug assembly. There shall not be any air leakage from

inside the connector when submerged in the water tank.

Precautions

1 Follow the correct assembly sequence, cable preparation and tightening torques.

2 Assure that the applicable cable outer surfaces are free of scratches, oil, grease or any other contamination.

3 Do not use excessive forces or improper tools when assembling or mounting the connectors.
