Wiring a Sub-D Connector with Shielding (drive side)
Wiring the Sub-D
Connector
If you construct your own Sub-D connector with shielding, please do so according
to the following procedure which correlates to the eight steps in the diagram that
follows this procedure.
Warning !
* If the SubD connector housing is made of metallized plastic or is not metallic,
solder a short wire between the cable shield and the metallic part of the SubD
(Gnd).

Step Action
1 Carefully remove about 25mm of the outer covering while taking care not to
damage the braided shield.
2
Push the exposed braided shield back over the outer covering
.
3 Leave the first 12mm of the braided shield free and insulate the rear portion
with shrink tubing.
4 Carefully strip about 5mm from the individual wires while taking care not to
damage the copper strands.
5 Verify pin assignments then solder the individual wires to the solder cups of the
Sub-D connector. (Check the wire colors.)*
6 Attach the cable to the connector housing strain relief; the strain relief must
have good contact with the exposed shielding of the cable.
7 Place the knurled screws in position.
8 Place the Sub-D connector in the groove of the half-housing (pin 1 at bottom)
and press the two halves together.
Note: Once the halves of the housing have been pressed together, they cannot
be opened without damaging them.
