Cord Connector: To assemble the three-part cord connector, first feed the end ofthe cable through the boot, cable clamp housing, and coupling ring in that order andposition as shown in the figure below. NOTE: The coupling ring can also be insertedonto the cord connector from the front. In-line Connector: Feed the end of the cablethrough the boot and cable clamp housing in the order and position shown.

Next, strip the cable .218" as shown and begin soldering conductors to pins, or insertcontacts crimped on wire starting with contact #1 next to the "notch" and following withthe remaining conductors counter-clockwise with #6 or #8 conductor in the center.

Push the cable clamp housing forward until it locks into the connector body andsnap the two clamps into their compartments.

Finally, push the boot all the way forward to seat tightly onto the cable clamp housing.

Remember: Cord connectors will not mate with each other. For cord-to-cord connection,your customer must order a cord connector plus an in-line connector.

SWITCHCRAFT® PANEL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

MATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR A CORD CONNECTOR TO A PANEL MOUNT OR IN-LINE CONNECTORFirst , align the notched keyway on both the panel mount or in-lineand cord connector. Then, push the cord connector onto the matingconnector. Grasp the coupling ring between the slots , push it towardthe panel mount connector and rotate it clockwise nearly one half a

turn. Continue rotating until you feel the coupling ring ride over thelocking “bump”. This is the locked position. The cord connector is notsecurely in place unless this procedure is followed.

Panel Connector The panel mount connector comes in two pieces: the panel connector and the hex nut. The hex nutscrews onto the panel mount connector using 8 to 10 inch-lbs. of torque maximum. See figure below.

WEATHERTIGHTCONNECTORSEN3™ Series 9-18 PinsSwitchcraft expands the EN3™ Series up to 18 pins. The EN3™ Series is a popular plastic connector series that meets a number of harsh weather environmental ratings. It’s nowavailable from 2 through 18 pins. The 9-18 pin versions are onlyavailable with solder terminals. The solder terminals come intwo styles, straight or staggered. The straight style has equallength terminals, all facing the same way. The staggeredversion has the inner set of terminals longer than the outer set.Also, the staggered terminals face radially away from the centerof the connector, to make soldering much easier. The 9-18versions carry the same environmental ratings as the 2-8, which include IP66/IP68 and NEMA 250, when mated.

Features and Benefits• Available in solder terminals only, either straight or staggered

for easier soldering• Exceeds enclosure rating IP16/IP18 when not mated or

covered, IP66/IP68 when mated• Exceeds Coast Guard specifications for water tightness (CFR

46 Part 110.20)• UL 94V-O rated material• Gold-plated pins and contacts to reduce contact resistance
