1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers the use of AMPLIMITE

Connector HD--20 Shielded Cable Clamp Kits with

available ferrules listed in Figures 2 and 8, and

grommets listed in Figure 14.

Dimensions are in millimeters [with inch

equivalents in brackets]. Figures and illustrations

are for identification only and are not drawn to

scale.

Read these instructions carefully before using cable

clamp kits and ferrules.

Reasons for reissue of this sheet are provided in

Section 9, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)

Each shielded cable clamp kit consists of two

symmetrical cable clamps which contain strain--relief

bars. Each kit also includes two captive screws, two

fillister head screws, and two nuts.

The shielded cable clamps are designed to provide

electromagnetic shielding and strain--relief for braid--

and/or foil--type (with drain wire) shielded cables. The

shielded cable clamps may be used on cables fitted

with split--ring or crimp ferrules, on cables without

ferrules, or on cables fitted with grommets.

Unshielded cable clamp with grommet kits are also

available to provide strain relief only.

Refer to Paragraph 3 when using cable without

ferrules, to Paragraphs 5 and 6 for installation of

cable clamps on cable with ferrules, and to

Paragraph 7 for installation of cable clamps on cable

with grommets.

Cable clamps are available in five sizes for

AMPLIMITE connectors with corresponding contact

positions (9, 15, 25, 37, and 50 for HD--20, and 15,

26, 44, 62 and 78 for HD--22).

Refer to Figures 2 and 8 to determine appropriate

cable clamp kit relative to cable diameter,

AMPLIMITE connector size, and type of ferrule (if

used) for the cable.

Refer to Figure 14 to determine appropriate grommet

set and cable clamp kit relative to cable diameter.

If cable diameter is too small to fit properly into

strain--relief, apply heat--shrinkable tubing before

working braid over cable jacket to build up the

outside diameter of the cable. The inside

diameter of the heat--shrinkable tubing should be

no more than twice the outside diameter of the

cable. See Figure 3.

3.1. Braided Shield Cable (Without Ferrule)

1. Strip cable jacket from end of conductors. Refer

tothetableinFigure7forthecablejacketstrip

length for HD--20 and HD--22 connectors.

2. Push braided shield away from conductors to

form a bulge at base of outer cable jacket. Work

braided shield back over outer jacket. It may be

necessary to unweave shield and place strands

over outer jacket (strands should be spread evenly

over outer jacket).

3. Install tape or heat--shrinkable tubing without

sealant to secure loose strand ends to cable until

cable clamps are installed. The braid should be

exposed 14.27 mm [.562 in.] between tape or

tubing and conductors. See Figure 3. Use an

electric heat gun as the heat source.

4. Terminate conductors with contacts and insert

contacts into rear of connector or terminate to

connector per the appropriate document listed in

Figure 4.

5. Position one half of cable clamp on cable and

connector. Ensure that flange of connector is

behind flange gripper of clamp and that braided

shield of cable is in strain--relief grooves of clamp.

6. Position the other half of clamp on top of cable

and start the two fillister head screws and nuts on

the clamps.

7. Insert captive screws into mounting holes.

Alternately tighten the fillister head screws until the

two clamp halves bottom on each other.

Excess braided shield may be left secured or

may be trimmed off directly behind clamps with a

sharp shield trimming tool. Take care not to nick

or cut conductors. If heat--shrinkable tubing was

used to secure braid, do NOT trim the tubing.

3.2. Foil Shield Cable (Without Ferrule)

1. Strip the cable jacket from end of conductors.

Refer to the table in Figure 7 for the cable jacket

strip length for HD--20 connectors.

2. Unwrap foil shield from cable and wrap it around

outer jacket. Wrap drain wire around foil. Ensure

that conductive side of foil is facing outward.

3. Secure ends of foil and drain wire with tape or

heat--shrinkable tubing until clamps are installed.

Leave 14.27 mm [.562 in.] of foil exposed between

tape or tubing and conductors.

4. Terminate conductors with contacts and insert

contacts into rear of connector or terminate to

connector per the appropriate document listed in

Figure 4.

5. Position one half of cable clamp on cable and

connector. Ensure that flange of connector is

behind flange gripper of clamp and that foil shield

of cable and the drain wire are in strain--relief

grooves of clamp.

6. Position the other half of the clamp on top of

cable and start the two fillister head screws and

nuts on the clamps.

GThe strip length dimension range is designed to accommodate a variety of cable designs. In order to determine the proper strip length, before

beginning production runs, consideration must be given to the flexibility and type of wire, bundling of wire due to circuit arrangement, and other

like factors. In any case, the ferrule placement discussed in the assembly procedures must be per Figure 10 for split ring ferrules and per

Figure11forcrimpferrules.GGMass termination hand tooling dimension pertains to HDE connectors ONLY.

7. GROMMET ASSEMBLY (Figures 12 and 13)

Refer to the table in Figure 14 to select the proper

cable clamp kit with grommets for the cable you are

using and proceed as follows:

1. Cut the cable to the desired length. Slide the

appropriate size grommet onto the cable with the

large O.D. toward the cable end being terminated.

2. Strip cable jacket from end of conductors. Take

care not to cut any foil, braid, or drain wire if

present. Refer to table in Figure 7 for the cable

jacket strip length for HD--20 and HD--22

connectors.

3. If cable has neither braid nor foil, slide grommet

to end of cable jacket and go to Step 7.

4. If cable has only foil around the conductors,

cut foil to end of jacket and remove. If drain wire is

present, trim to a length of approximately

15.24 mm [.600 in.] from end of jacket. Slide

grommet to end of cable jacket, bend any drain

wire back over top of grommet, and go to Step 7.

5. If cable has only braid, trim braid to

approximately 15.24 mm [.600 in.] from end of

cable jacket. Slide grommet to end of cable jacket

and fold the braid as evenly as possible around the

grommet. It may be easier to fold the braid back

over the jacket end first, then slide the grommet

under it. Go to Step 7.

6. If cable has both foil and braid, trim foil,

braid, and any drain wire to approximately

15.24 mm [.600 in.] from end of cable jacket. Slide

grommet to end of cable jacket and fold the braid

as evenly as possible around the grommet. It may

be easier to fold the braid back over the jacket end

first, then slide the grommet under it. Cut foil to

end of jacket and remove. Fold drain wire, if

present, over the braid and go to Step 7.

7. Terminate conductors with contacts and insert

contacts into rear of connector or terminate the

connector per the appropriate document listed in

Figure 4.

8. Position one half of cable clamp on cable and

connector. Ensure that the flange of the connector

is behind the flange gripper of the clamp and that

the large O.D. of the grommet is seated against

the connector side of the inner strain relief bar of

thecableclamp.

9. In a similar manner, position the other half of the

cable clamp and secure with attaching hardware.
