    insulation or protection of terminal ends of wires that are disconnected for testing, etc. Any masking or electrical tape used for the above purposes shall be removed and the equipment returned to an acceptable condition prior to customer acceptance.

    b. Wiring potentiometers (2–inch diameter and larger). Wire lead length shall be approximately 4 inches from the main trunk of the harness and shall be routed as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 may be considered as a top, side, or bottom view, depending upon the orientation of the potentiometer terminals when mounted.

    Figure 1 Wiring Potentiometers

    c. Shims, shafts. Shafts with snap rings shall be shimmed at assembly to prevent undue axial motion due to tolerance buildup between ring grooves. Laminated shims may be selected from the following:

    Link PN 479419 (for 1/8–inch shaft) Link PN 479420 (for 3/16–inch shaft) Link PN 451137 (for 1/4–inch shaft)

    d. Solderless lugs.

    (1) Assembly arrangement of solderless lugs and their attaching hardware shall be as shown in the following paragraphs, unless otherwise specified on the engineering drawings.

    (a) Terminal strip connection (Figure 2).

    (b) Chassis ground connection, tapped mounting hole (Figure 3).

    NOTE: Mounting surface prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-464 LMS 11-13 Electrical Bonding).

    (c) Chassis ground connection, untapped hole (Figure 4).

    NOTE: Mounting surface prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-464 (LMS 11-13 Electrical Bonding).

    (d) Chassis ground connection, untapped hole - with secured mounting.

    During assembly and subsequent wiring of assemblies, it may be

    necessary to disassemble parts to gain access and mount lugged wires

    at E1 ground positions. To avoid this disassembly, an additional flat

    washer, lock washer, and nut may be used with the existing hardware

    (Figure 5).

    NOTE: Mounting surface prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-464 (LMS 11-13 Electrical Bonding).

    h. Heat sink compound.

    (1) When mounting power transistors and diodes, apply a thin coating of heat sink compound similar to Link PN 479469 and Link PN 432434 to:

    (a) The base and mounting stud

    (b) Both sides of the insulating washer (when used)

    (c) Any surface of the transistor or diode that contacts the heat dissipater

    (2) The compound shall be applied directly from the tube and spread with an applicator, such as a stick.

    (3) This procedure is not limited to diodes and transistors. These compounds may also be used with other electronic components subject to the same design requirements.

    i. Sleeving applications.

    (1) Transparent sleeving. For soldered connections, transparent sleeving shall be used as an insulator over connector and component sockets. Alternate pin sleeving may be used at the discretion of Manufacturing. (See Figures 12 and 13.)

    (2) Teflon. Teflon sleeving shall be used as an insulator where soldering heat and

    soldering iron tip contact could damage other types of insulation and where

    bare wire jumpers might touch. (See Figures 14, 15, and 16.)

    j. Helicoil inserts. Helicoil inserts should be installed 3/4 P to 1-1/2 P below the surface

    (P = thread pitch).

    k. Bus bar terminations. When a lugged lead identification does not indicate a specific bus

    bar terminal number, the lead may be attached to any convenient termination point of

    the correct size on the bus bar, provided no more than four leads are attached to any one

    terminal.

    l. Number of lugs per terminal. The maximum number of lugs to be connected to any one

    terminal on a terminal board shall be two for screw-type terminal boards covered by A-

    A-59125, and as specified in the detail specification sheets for stud-type terminal

    boards. Not more than four lugs shall be connected to any one terminal of a board

    covered by SAE-AS27212. Accessories such as stud connectors, straddle plates, and

    jumper and terminal board lugs shall be counted as lugs for this purpose.

    m. Number of wires per terminal or lug (stranded wire only). The number of wires

    terminated in an individual terminal or lug shall not be greater than three. Multisection

    turret, bifurcated, or multi-hole lug terminals shall have not more than three wires per

    section, tong, or hole. In no case shall the total cross sectional area of the terminated

    wires exceed the cross sectional area capacity of the terminal or lug. Refer to Table I

    for circular mil area of common wire sizes. Use this table to determine lug size (see

    example).

    Example: It is required to crimp two AWG 22 and one AWG 20 wires in one terminal lug. To determine

    the lug to be used: add the circular mil area of the one AWG 20 wire to the circular mil area of

    the two AWG 22 wires.

    provided the sum of the cross sectional areas of the conductors does not exceed the

    maximum cross sectional area for which the contact is rated. Not more than one wire

    shall be routed through any hole in the grommet of an environmentally sealed

    connector.

    o. Lugged lead connections. When specific wiring connections are not defined as point to

    point (as in a schematic diagram), the number of lugged connections to a terminal shall

    not exceed the number of connections depicted on the schematic diagram. (See Figure

    17.)

    p. Adding miscellaneous components/spot thru. Spot thru/hand-drilled holes specified on

    assembly-type drawings and expressed in decimal form without tolerance shall be

    governed by the drawing block tolerance unless otherwise specified. It is intended that

    these hand-drilled holes will accept the fasteners assigned to them, and shall not be

    drilled in such excess as to be detrimental to the fasteners’ locking device, e.g., lock

    washers. In that instance, Engineering shall be notified.

    1.2 Hardware exchanges. The exchanges authorized by this instruction apply only to specific items

    and variations listed herein. The same basic item; type, material, finish, as specified on the

    Engineering drawing shall be used, the exchange being limited to such features as variations of

    length, size, diameter, and thickness. These exchanges meet the “exchangeability of items”

    definition of MIL-HDBK-505.

    a. Bolts, screws.

    Lengths. The length of screws and bolts installed with nuts should be such that the

    exposed portion of the screw or bolt is a minimum of 1-1/2 threads. The next longer or

    shorter screw or bolt may be exchanged for that specified on the drawing.

    b. Flat washers. Flat washers of different thickness and diameter of the same part number

    may be used provided these differences are within the tolerance bands dictated on the

    MS drawing.

    c. Transparent plastic tubing (insulation). The next two sizes, larger or smaller diameter,

    may be exchanged.

    d. Cotter pins. The next size, longer or shorter, may be exchanged.

    e. Rivets. The next standard length, longer or shorter, may be exchanged provided the

    exposed portion does not interfere with adjacent structures, parts, items, hardware, etc.

    When a shorter length is exchanged, care shall be exercised to insure the length is

    sufficient to head properly.

    f. Terminal lugs.

    (1) Stud size. The next larger or smaller stud size (hole diameter) may be

    exchanged, provided the possibility of no electrical shorting results.

    (2) Crimp barrel size. Due to wire braid variations, the next larger or smaller

    barrel size may be exchanged.

    g. Ferrules and heat shrinkable solder splices for shielded wire. The next size, larger or

    smaller, may be exchanged.

    h. Wire.

    (1) Wire of a higher voltage rating than that specified on the drawing may be used

    provided the conductor size (AWG), type (stranded, solid), and type of

    insulation (Teflon, for example) are the same as that specified, and the larger

    outside diameter of the insulation will have no adverse effect, such as

    overcrowding or poor fit in the equipment.

    (2) Wire of a lower voltage rating than that specified on the drawing may not be

    exchanged.

    (3) Jumper wires.

    (a) When solid, bare, tinned copper wire (used for jumper wires) is called

    out on the drawing or wire list, with insulation sleeving, it shall be

    permissible to exchange Teflon insulated, silver– coated copper, solid

    wire of like gauge. The Teflon insulation shall be of 200 C extruded

    type. Part numbers for the Teflon insulated wire are:

    20 AWG-M16878/4BGA9

    22 AWG-M16878/4BFA9

    24 AWG-M16878/4BEA9

    (b) When the drawing or wire list specifies short, insulated wire jumpers

    between terminals on components or adjacent components such as

    switches, relays, etc., it shall be permissible to exchange solid, bare

    bus wire of the same gauge covered with a section of an appropriate

    size of clear insulation. Length of the exchanged jumpers shall be

    limited to 2 inches.

    (c) On occasion, very short lengths of insulated wire are specified as

    jumpers. Due to the extreme shortness of some of these jumpers, it is

    difficult to strip the wire without pulling off all the insulation. Every

    effort should be made to strip these short lengths of wire properly. In

    the event the insulation is pulled off accidentally, it shall be

    permissible to use the bare stripped wire, but only on the condition

    that the wire cannot come in contact with anything, thereby causing a

    malfunction. If this possibility does exist, a sufficient length of the

    stripped insulation shall be slipped on the wire to provide the

    necessary protection.

    1.3 Power supply jumpers. Power supplies as received from the vendor will normally have

    jumpers installed across the following terminal board terminals:

    -S (-sense) to -V (-voltage)

    +S (+sense) to +V (+voltage)

    These terminal jumpers are not to be removed from the terminal strip unless the wiring list or

    other next-assembly document specifies their removal.

    If the wiring list or engineering drawing specifies that a jumper wire be added across terminals

    which already have jumpers installed by the vendor, the vendor-installed jumpers may remain

    in place instead of adding the jumper wire specified on the engineering drawing or wiring list.

    1.4 Pressure connector terminations.

    a. Cables/wires terminating in pressure connectors shall be limited to one cable or wire per

    barrel. Cables/wires shall not be tinned by Manufacturing. If the engineering drawing

    specifies a larger cable and a smaller wire both terminating in the same barrel, the

    smaller wire shall be pigtailed to the larger cable by means of a compression cable

    splice similar to that shown in Figure 18. (Heat-shrink tubing may be applied over the

    splice if additional support of the smaller wire is advisable.) Only the larger cable shall

    then terminate in the barrel of the pressure connector. On some types of components,

    such as power circuit breakers, screw-lug tabs are provided in addition to the pressure

    connectors. In this case, Manufacturing shall contact Engineering to specify a crimp-

    type terminal lug on the smaller wire(s) and attaching to the screw lug tab.

    (1) In those applications where the use of pressure connectors may not be

    desirable because of situations caused by part location, wire routing, wire

    versus connector size, etc., Manufacturing shall contact Engineering to specify

    deleting the pressure connector and terminate the wire with a crimp-type

    terminal lug.

    Figure 18 Typical Pressure Connector

    (2) The wire shall be so inserted that the insulation is firmly against the barrel end

    or insulation support. Dimension “A” (Figure 19) shall be kept to a minimum.

    In no case shall the wire extend far enough to come into contact, or interfere,

    with the terminal mounting nut or screw head. The wire shall not be recessed

    into the lug. It shall be at least flush with the end of the barrel (surface B).

    Figure 19 Typical Assembled Pressure Connector

    (3) When multiple–barrel pressure connectors are used, and the barrels and

    cables/wires are of various sizes, the cables/wires shall be terminated in the

    smallest barrel into which the cable or wire can be inserted. (See Figure 20.)

    Figure 20 Multiple-Barrel Pressure Connectors

    b. When specified on the engineering drawing, wires that are of a smaller gauge than that

    for which the pressure connector is intended shall be spliced to a short piece (2 to 6

    inches) of the proper size wire or cable. The larger size wire or cable shall then be

    inserted into the pressure connector. For information on splices used for this situation,

    refer to Table II.

    c. Saddle-type terminations. The terminations of various components such as circuit

    breakers, contactors, etc. shall be used as they were designed to be terminated. For

    example: do not use a terminal lug if the termination was designed for a stripped lead,

    unless otherwise specified by the drawing and/or wiring list.

    If a saddle-type termination is used, it is permissible to insert two stranded wires of the

    same AWG size. (See Figure 21.) However, if one wire is solid (for example: a lead

    wire from a diode, capacitor, etc.) and of the same AWG size, make certain that both

    wires are secure. (See Figure 21.)

    Figure 21 Typical Saddle-Type Termination

    d. Terminations other than saddle-type. The leads of components such as diodes,

    capacitors, etc., that are mounted across circuit breakers, contactors, etc., shall be

    terminated with a compression cable splice. (See Figure 22.) The part number of the

    appropriate splice shall be specified on the drawing.

    Figure 22 Typical Part Mounting Using a Compression Splice

    e. In those cases where the wire gauge is within the size range of the pressure connector,

    yet the connection is loose due to splaying of the wire strands, the wire may be folded

    double before insertion into the connector. (See Figure 23.)

    1.5 Discrete component mounting. Leads of discrete components being mounted on equipment,

    such as a capacitor across the contacts of a relay, shall be kept to a minimum length in order to

    prevent interference with other components and reduce breakage due to flexing. Bend radii of

    the leads shall be two times the lead diameter, minimum. If practicable, lead length from the

    crimped lug or termination to the bend radius shall be a maximum of .50 inch. Lead length

    from the component to the bend radius shall be a minimum of .125 inch. (See Figure 24.)

    1.7 Wiring/cable ducts. Where wiring or cable ducts (Panduit or equivalent) are fastened with a flat washer, lockwasher, and screw, apply a minimum length of 2.5 inches of fiberglass, Teflon-coated tape (Link PN 452839) over the head of the screw.

    1.8 Series MS3400 (existing design) SAE-AS34001 (new design) connectors.

    a. The pins of some MS3400 and SAE-AS34001 series connectors have exposed pins which constitute an electrical shock and high-current hazard if not guarded by strain relief adapters or other means. Connectors used by Link which have this hazard are the MS3452-series connectors with contact sizes #8 or larger. Whenever these connectors are used, cover the exposed terminals with shrink tubing as delineated in the typical connector of Figure 25.

    Figure 25 Typical MS3400 and SAE-AS34001 Series Connector

    b. MS3452-series connectors currently used by Link that require shock–high–current hazard prevention are listed below.

    1.12 Miscellaneous wiring techniques.

    a. The engineering drawing may specify special wiring techniques on various types of

    assemblies (cabinet, chassis, panel, etc.). Two of these techniques are “Direct Wiring”

    and “Wiring to be as short as possible.”

    b. “Direct Wiring” (critical wire length) is point to point wiring routed via the shortest

    possible and most direct path. These wires are not to be routed or dressed with the main

    wire trunk and/or its branches. Except for strain relief, there will be no rework length

    allowance of wire.

    c. “Wiring to be as short as possible” is point–to–point wiring routed the shortest, most

    direct path via the main wire trunk and/or its branches. Except for strain relief, there

    will be no rework length allowance of wire.

    1.13 Abrasion protection. Abrasion protection shall be provided on Link products as appropriate.

    When not specified on Link engineering drawings, Manufacturing shall apply abrasion

    protection in accordeance with the following. Manufacturing shall apply abrasion–protective

    materials on wiring/cabling to protect against chafing due to movement. Flexible

    sleeving/tubing, Link PN 261198 through 261220 or equivalent, shall be applied on

    wiring/cabling subject to flexing in areas such as slide-out racks and drawers and in cases

    where flexing and abrasion cannot be avoided. Channel rubber strip, Link PN 280772 through

    280775 or equivalent, shall be applied to sharp edges of hardware where wiring/cabling may

    come in contact with the hardware edges when flexible sleeving/tubing application to the

    wiring/cabling is not feasible.

    NOTE: Sleeving/tubing may be slid over or slit to fit the cabling/wiring and secured with lacing cord or

    tie straps.

    1.14 Slide Latch Kits. When connector slide latch kits are used on panels, up to and including 16th inch thick,

    in the vertical position, install all the sliding latches as shown in Figure 31, so that the lock position is

    obtained by sliding the latch downward.
