6.3. Instruction of cable connector assembly：
6.3.1. Screwing off the tail parts (End Locker, Wire Sealing Claw and Wire Sealing ) from
male or female cable connector，and then pulling the wire which was cut and stripped through them
in turn.
6.3.2. Crimp the wire
Inserting the stripped wires correctly into the corresponding pin holes according to
the identification and then tightening all screws firmly, Screw twisting torque 0.4±0.1N·m. after
it , giving a reverse pull force lightly ( about 10N by manual to test crimping result. Please
pay attention to avoiding damage of pins and pin-holder. After crimping, The tensile strength shall
meet the requirements listed in the following table：
