Rosin core solder such as Kester SN63PB37 flux “44” and a non-corrosive solder flux such as GC Electronics, Part #10-4216.
For RoHS compliant assemblies, mends flux core solder such as Kester #58/275 lead-free wire solder with no-clean flux and when required, a non-corrosive flux such as Kester 959T no-clean liquid flux.
Use of any other flux may cause serious damage to the connectors.
1. Strip the cable1 according to the lengths given in the table below.2 Then, tin the conductors.
| Type | Dimensions | |
| L | T | |
| M02 | 14.0 | 4.0 |
| M02, M05 | 13.0 | 3.0 |
| M06-M14 | 12.5 | 2.5 |
2. Slide the collet (1) nut and then the collet (2) onto the cable.
3. Solder conductors into contacts, making sure that neither solder nor flux gets onto the insulator or cable insulation.3
4. Slide the collet (2) forward and locate tab (3) in the slot (5) on the insulator (6). Slide collet nut (1) over collet (2) and then push the whole assembly into the shell (7) while turning it to ensure that the tab (3) locates in the inside slot of the shell. Tighten
the collet nut (1) to the maximum torque of 0.25 N-m.
1 Specified strip lengths are recommended vatues and may need to be adjusted to accommodate cabte construction and other variabtes unique to eaoh apptication.
2 Some inserts with stepped, multi-row contacts may require shorter middle conductor lengths.
3 Collet nut torque should not exceed recommended value. Optimal torque value depends upon cable construction.
4 All connectors with solder-style contacts are fully compatible with lead-free solder and the required higher temperatures.
