ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
For installation by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes
and the following instruction. The suitability of this type of termination must be evaluated by
Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. and Canadian Standard Association for the end use application.
Assemble contact to the cables according to the equipment manufacturer's assembly instructions.
The following instructions are supplied as a reference.
Please note:
Instructions are included with each crimp tool for terminating specific contacts. Use of
non-Anderson Power crimp can effect UL & CSA Approval.
1. Strip cable to dimensions in Table A.
2. *Crimp or solder contact to cable following Tables B, C and D.
3. Observing proper polarity, place contact in housing with notched side of tongue next to spring.
(see cross section above).

cable. Continue heating well until solder flows into wire, being careful not to over flow onto
contact surface. Do not solder-dip contacts. Cable clamps for solder connections to
unsupported leads (required by Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc.) are listed on Table E (over).
