        3. Tin Wires:<\/strong> Apply solder to wire ends for easier insertion<\/li>\n
        4. Solder\/Crimp:<\/strong> Attach wires to contact tails (follow pin assignment diagram)<\/li>\n
        5. Insert into Housing:<\/strong> Carefully place terminated insert into connector body<\/li>\n
        6. Install Backshell:<\/strong> Secure cable with strain relief and backshell nut<\/li>\n
        7. \u0627\u0644\u0627\u062e\u062a\u0628\u0627\u0631:<\/strong> Perform continuity and insulation resistance tests<\/li>\n
        8. Seal:<\/strong> Apply thread sealant (optional) and mate connectors<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Required Tools<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Wire Strippers:<\/strong> Precision strippers for small gauge wires (0.14-1.5mm\u00b2)<\/li>\n
          • Soldering Iron:<\/strong> Temperature-controlled, fine tip (for solder cup termination)<\/li>\n
          • Crimping Tool:<\/strong> Ratcheting crimper for consistent crimps (for crimp contacts)<\/li>\n
          • Multimeter:<\/strong> For continuity testing<\/li>\n
          • Megohmmeter:<\/strong> For insulation resistance testing (recommended)<\/li>\n
