LMD Assembly Instructions

MODULE INSERTION/REMOVAL & USE OF STRAIN RELIEF

Pin or socket modules, wired or unwired, can be inserted or intermixed in plug

or receptacle housings. Select from standard module configurations shown on

pages 103 & 104, or select the optional bussing, diode or relay modules

offered, shown on pages 105 & 106. The next instructions illustrate the proper

method of insertion and removal of modules within the LMD connector.

Align the module with the proper

cavity at the rear of the housing. The

module keyway must be positioned

to accept key in housing cavity.

Carefully insert the module straight in

to the cavity until fully seated and

locked in place. A slight axial push on

the front of the module or a pull on

the cable bundle will confirm module

is locked in proper position.

Module Insertion

Select module to be removed and place

the blades of removal tool into the remov-

al slots at the front of the connector. Push

the removal tool into the full depth of the

cavity, releasing the module retention

tines.

Module Removal

With the module removal tool fully

inserted, push the extraction plunger to

eject the module out of the rear of the

connector.

Assembly of Internal Strain Relief

Strain reliefs, if required, may be assembled to plug or receptacle

connectors which have a full complement of modules installed.

The following is instruction for assembling the internal attach-

ment strain relief, part number LMD-5300-10A (see page 107).

Tape wire bundle in area of cable clamp, and build up diameter

to approx. 3/8 inches, if required. Align self-locking tines of the

strain relief housing with the cavities adjacent to each module.

Push the strain relief housing into place until the self-locking

tines snap and lock strain relief into position. Assemble opposite

half of strain relief housing to connector and tighten tie-strap to

provide clamping force on the wire bundle.

Opening Strain Relief to Service

Modules and Contacts

Internal attachment strain reliefs may be opened to

provide module and/or contact accessibility. To

service connectors, first cut and discard tie-strap on

strain relief. Open strain relief halves approx. 45°

each by bending along integral flexible hinge. After

servicing, close strain relief halves and install and

tighten new tie-strap.

To completely remove strain relief from the housing

in order to provide module access; first remove

tie-strap, open strain relief halves 45° each, then

remove module, then remove strain relief.
