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.
1020 (one AWG 20)
1280 (two AWG 22)
2300 Total circular mil
Using Table I, locate the next higher circular mil area in relation to the total circular mils required, in this case 2580
circular mil area in relation to the 2300 total circular mils required. Cross reference this circular mil area to the
equivalent wire size, in this case AWG 16.

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

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.

L3Harris Instruction Printed or electronic copies are uncontrolled, validate prior to use Printed on: December 17, 2020
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).

(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.)

1.8 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.

1.9 Pushbutton display. Figure 26 illustrates a typical component arrangement of a pushbutton
display assembly. When reassembling, it should be noted that:
a. Once the lamp(s) is inserted into the lamp board assembly, the base plate is discarded.
b. Unless otherwise noted on the drawing, Manufacturing shall assume that the legend
plate is always visible, as shown in Figure 26. The diffusers and legend plate may be in
reverse order if the legend is not to be visible when the lamp is off, if so specified on the
drawing.
c. There will not be any legend plate in those cases where the legend is printed or
engraved on the face plate.
d. The lamp board assembly and the pushbutton housing are notched out in the upper left
corner (Figure 26) to assure proper indexing of the components.

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.
