Any type of soiling (dust, humidity etc.)
will negatively affect the operation of the
system over the desired period of use. This
applies particularly for the usability of the
seals and crimping of the contacts. The
utmost care must therefore be taken to
work cleanly during installation.
Different circular contacts are used for dif-
ferent conductor cross-sections for the Tyco
Solarlok connectors. The correct tool insert
must be used, depending on this cross-sec-
tion. The enclosed Tyco Solarlok connectors
are equipped with circular contacts for a
cable cross-section of 4 mm. The enclosed
seals have internal dimensions of 6 (for
cables of 5.3 to 6.2 mm sheath diameter)
and 8 mm (for cables of 7.2 to 8.0 mm she-
ath diameter). The seal must be matched
to the sheath diameter of the cables used.

The following sequence must be observed
for assembly of Tyco Solarlok connectors:
1. Strip the voltage-free cable by 8 mm.
2. Crimp on the circular contact.
3. Push the cable gland, clamping piece
and seal onto the cable.
4. Engage the contact in the connector
housing.
5. Screw on the clamping nut.
6. Tightening torque of the threaded
cable gland is 1.5 Nm.
