Check
X Check if crimp contacts are rmly and correctly
connected.
- Make sure that no single wires stick out.
Check extraction forces according to DIN EN
61238-1.
6.6 Assemble Contacts into Contact
Inserts
After all the cable strands have been crimped with the
contacts and have been checked for rm and correct
connection, the contacts may be assembled into the
contact inserts.
WARNING
A wrong pin conguration of the con-
tact inserts may cause a deathly electric
shock.
X Make sure that associated pin and
socket contacts are always inserted
into the corresponding contact cavi-
ties with identical pin conguration!
X Make sure that contacts with phase
assignment are not mounted into
contact cavities which are destined
for the protective earthing (PE)!
Assembly
X Inserting of the contacts (1) into the contact insert
(2) is made starting from the middle outwards: In
doing so, push every single contact to limit stop
into the contact insert until the contact locks au-
dibly.
X Insert ller plugs from the plug side into the con-
tact insert of not congurated contact cavities, re-
fer to section „6.7 Assemble Filler Plugs“.

Check
X Check if all contacts are rmly in place: test force
40 N.
Disassembly
X In order to remove contacts from the contact in-
serts, adequate extraction tools are needed, refer
to section „6.1 Required Tools“.
X Attach the extraction tool (3) to the contact (4) and
extract the contact from the contact insert.
NOTICE
After a contact has been extracted, the interlock
function of the plastic clip (5) is no longer guaran-
teed. When the contact is reused, a new plastic clip
– tting for the type of contact – must be used! (Refer
to chapter „9. Special Tools and Spare Parts“)
