ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
E1012 ATTACHABLE CONNECTORS
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Cut off cable end of insulator to match cable diameter.
2. Coat cable and ID of sleeve at the cable end with a little liquid soap, or cable pulling
compound to make assembly easier. Do not coat contacts or ID of sleeve where
contact fits, as this will cause the contact to slip within sleeve. Push cable
through insulator from rear of sleeve
3. Strip cable jacket 1 1/8”. Wrap bare
conductor with copper shim. See Table 1
for quantity of copper shim.
4. The length of bare copper wire is included
for cable jacket retention. Wrap the wire
tightly around the cable
jacket 3/8”-1/2” from the
end of the jacket. Bend
the ends down against the
conductor and squeeze
twisted portion tightly against cable jacket so that it
will clear inside of insulator during assembly. Cut
loose ends of wire off flush with end of conductor.
NOTE: Use copper (CU) wire only.

5. Assemble shim covered conductor and end
of strain relief wire into cable hole. Strain
relief ends should not be inserted under the
set screw of the contact. Tighten set screw
to torque shown in Table 2. Set screws must
be below surface of contact to clear plastic
ring inside of sleeve. If contact is crimp type,
crimp should be made opposite retainer wire.
6. Line up external locking pin on contact with
arrow marked “MATE” on raised boss on the
insulator. Place cam-lok connection end of
contact against a firm surface and push insulator
over contact until contact locking pin snaps into
the internal locking ring molded into the
insulator. Male should be inside the insulator
approximately 11/32”; female should be inside the
insulator about 1/8”. Use male contact to assemble
female connector. Use female contact to assemble
male connector.
