Any type of soiling (dust, humidity etc.)
will negatively affect the operation of the
system over the desired period of use.
This applies particularly for the usability
of the seals and crimping of the contacts.
The utmost care must therefore be taken
to work cleanly during installation.
Different circular contacts are used for
different conductor cross-sections for the
TYCO SOLARLOK connectors. The correct
tool insert must be used, depending on
this cross-section. The enclosed TYCO
SOLARLOK connectors are equipped with
circular contacts for a cable cross-section
of 4 mm. The enclosed seals have internal
dimensions of 6 (for cables of 5.3 to 6.2
mm sheath diameter) and 8 mm (for
145
EN
cables of 7.2 to 8.0 mm sheath diameter).
The seal must be matched to the sheath
diameter of the cables used.
The following sequence must be observed
for assembly of TYCO SOLARLOK connec-
tors:
1. Strip the voltage-free cable by 8 mm.
2. Crimp on the circular contact.
3. Push the cable gland, clamping piece
and seal onto the cable.
4. Engage the contact in the connector
housing.
5. Screw on the clamping nut.
6. Tightening torque of the threaded cable
gland is 1.5 Nm.
