7. Cable ties are supplied to secure the auxiliary leads or cable to one of the main power cables.
Leave slack or loop in leads to Powerpole contacts when applying cable ties, figure1. Wraps to
be placed approximately 1 inch (25.4mm) apart as shown in figure 1.
8. To remove auxiliaries, punch out pins from bottom with .06 inch (1.5mm) diameter steel rod or
pin driver. Also available: contact insertion-extraction tool kit (cat. #111038G2).

SBX® Auxiliary Contact
Assembling Instructions
Contains two each of: housings, contacts, retaining pins, & cable ties.
1. Single conductors use #12 to #18 AWG wore only. Strip to 0.31 inch (7.9mm) off end of
insulation.
2. Twin conductor cable #12 to #18. Strip back outer jacket 5.50 inches (139 mm). (See
illustration). Then strip conductor insulation as in 1.
3a. To crimp: use the recommended tool. Crimping by other means may disturb contact position in
housing and or produce high resistance joints.
Crimp Tool Catalog Number
Manual - cycle controlled 1309G2
Pneumatic - cycle controlled 1367G1
3b. To Solder: Not recommended.
4. Thread or push one or two auxiliary contacts and wires through the rear of the SBX connector
before inserting into auxiliary housings. Push into auxiliary housings through rear until notched
side of contact tip snaps over spring. Tug wires to make sure wires are secure.
5. Slide two auxiliary Powerpole housings together by dovetails to stack vertically. They cannot
be inserted separately into SBX housing. The rear of each of the Powerpoles housings must
be flush.
6. Slide tacked auxiliaries back into SBX connector hosing until seated. The male dovetail should
be on top as shown in figure 1. Make sure side grooves of auxiliaries are aligned for retaining
pins B insert tubular pins. Hammer pins in holes from top, as shown in figure 1.
5. RECOMMENDED SOLDERING TECHNIQUES
(Use rosin flux solder only). Wrap cable strands, melt solder into well; heat and insert stripped
cable. Continue heating well until solder flows into wire being careful not to over flow onto
contact surfaces. DO NOT SOLDER DIP CONTACTS when contacts are soldered to
unsupported lead. Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. requires use of cable clamps, listed in table
below.
6. CABLE / CONTACT & HOUSING ASSEMBLY
Observing polarity of markings, push each contact into rear of housing until notched side snaps
over spring, tug on cable to make sure contact is locked into place.
DISASSEMBLING SBX CONNECTORS (see illustration)
Switch off power first. Remove contact by inserting extraction tool (cat. no. SBX175 - 969P1, SBX350 -
970P1) as shown below (steps 1, 2, & 3).
CAUTION: Replace contacts individually on battery leads to reduce potential danger of shorting.
1. Insert extraction tool as shown between contact and housing to point A.
2. Press down to release contact from spring.
3. Pull cable to remove contact.
