1 Instructions Scope: This document describes the termination instructions for 3M Power Clamp Wiremount Connectors Series 355 and M Part Numbers XX0-XXX XX XX0-XXX XX Applicable Documents: TS-2273 Power Clamp Wiremount Socket, Series 355 TS-2285 Power Clamp Wiremount Plug, Series 358 March A

2 1.0 Recommended Tools 1.1 For cable and wire cutting: a. Standard cable and wire cutting tool which can provide a sharp and clean cut to the wire end 1.2 For IDC termination (Figure 1): 2.4 Verify wire gauge and diameter matches specifications for connector. Each connector is marked with appropriate wire gauge and wire diameter range. This information can also be found on the product technical data sheets or drawings. a. Standard slip joint pliers which can provide a parallel closing action b. Pliers that can provide parallel closing action. These are the preferred tool. Figure Wire Insertion 3.1 When electric wire is thin, it can easily be inserted while the cover is in the horizontal position. Insert the wire (Figure 3). Figure 3 Figure Cable or Discrete Wire Preparation 2.1 Cut the cable or discrete wire to desired length. 2.2 Peel the cable jacket. Expose one inch (2.5 cm) or more of wire. 2.3 Spread out the individual wire tips to the approximate width of the connector and trim off wire tips so the ends of the wire are even when inserted into the connector. Wire should be cut clean and have minimal deformation at wire tip. 3.2 When the electric wire is thick, the insulation displacement contacts (IDC) inside the cover may interfere with wire insertion. If this occurs, the cover can be raised at an angle to eliminate interference (Figures 4 and 5). a. Raise the cover. b. Insert the electric wires. c. Carefully return the cover to the original horizontal position. Each IDC should align with the opening in the cover. Do not force the cover as this may bend the IDCs A

3 Figure 4 Figure 7 Cover Body Figure 5 IDC Figure Position the electric wire so that it is fully inserted into the cover. Wires should be even or flush with the back edge of the cover (Figure 6). Figure 9 Figure 6 - Cutaway Section 4.0 Termination to IDC 4.1 Using one of the recommended tools, apply pressure to the center of the cover. The cover should move vertically into the connector body (Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10). The most effective tool is a parallel-jaw type pliers as seen in Figure 11. Figure 10 Figure A 3

4 4.2 After pushing the cover center, use the pliers to vertically push down both edges of the cover (Figures 12 and 13). Figure 15 Figure The cover should be fully seated into the body. The top of the cover should be flush with the top of the connector body on front, back, left and right edges. If the cover is not fully seated or latches not fully engage, then press with pliers again to securely engage the cover (Figures 16 and 17). Figure Verification and Inspection 5.1 The cover edges contain latches that provide retention of the cover to the body. Verify the latches are engaged on both the left and right cover edges (Figures 14 and 15). Figure 16 - Defective State Figure 17 - Acceptable State Figure A

5 3M Power Clamp Connector TYPE-B ( XX0-BXX XX, XX0-BXX XX) Special Instructions The 3M Power Clamp Connector TYPE-B is intended for use for shielded cable with a drain wire. It can be used for cables without drain wires or discrete wire as well. The connector may terminate up to three insulated wires and one uninsulated drain wire. Figure 20 Figure 21 Figure Wire Insertion 8.1 Same as section 3.0. Additionally: a. Position wire into the appropriate hole per the following table: Position Cover Marking CC-Link Applications Wire Description Custom Application Wire Description 1 B DA Blue Insulated Wire Insulated Wire 2 W DB White Insulated Wire Insulated Wire 3 Y DG Yellow Insulated Wire Insulated Wire Figure Recommended Tools 6.1 Same as section 1.0 above. 7.0 Cable or Discrete Wire Preparation 7.1 Same as section 2.0. Additionally: a. Remove braided or foil shield to edge of cable jacket. Do not cut the drain wire. b. Using finger, twist uninsulated drain wire seven or more times until the individual strands are tightly wound. Insure all debris is removed from the drain wire. 4 NC None No Connect None No Connect 5 SLD Drain Wire Drain Wire 9.0 Termination to IDC 9.1 Follow section 4.0. Figure Verification and Inspection 10.1 Follow section A 5
