PART # 610 138 116
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Screwdriver
Flat Blade Screwdriver
QuadraPaddle Receiver Extraction Tool, Part # 910 110 112
CONTACT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Assemble the contact to the respective wire.
NOTE: For more information concerning the process of crimping the
contact, please see contact assembly instructions in Section 1 of this
User’s Manual.
2. Insert the assembled contact into the back (wiring side) of the
assembled module (Figure A). The contact can only go into one side.
Ensure that the contact is squared up with the corresponding module
location. Once in place, pull the wire slightly to ensure that the contact
is seated.
CONTACT REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the module from the receiver frame.
NOTE: For more information concerning the process of removing the
module from the receiver frame, see module installation and removal
instructions in Section 5 of this User’s Manual.
2. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two 2-56 screws located at
the top and bottom of the module (Figure B).
3. Insert the at blade screwdriver into the slot of the module and pry
the end of the module using a twisting motion until visible separation is
indicated. Repeat on the opposite end of the module (Figure B).
4. Grasp the module halves and apply force in opposite directions, rocking
the ends of the module while slightly pulling the top of the module
away from the mating bottom section. Be sure to open both sides of the
module simultaneously or contacts could be damaged.
5. Place the QuadraPaddle Receiver Extraction Tool, Part # 910 110 112
(Figure C), over the contact to be removed/replaced. Use care to keep
the tool perpendicular to the surface of the module, otherwise the tool
or the contact could be bent.
6. Once the extraction tool is seated and the retaining tabs on the contact
are compressed, depress the plunger. The contact will be pushed out of
the rear of the module.
DO NOT DEPRESS THE PLUNGER ON THE BACK OF THE
EXTRACTION TOOL UNTIL THE TIP OF THE EXTRACTION TOOL
HAS FULLY SEATED INTO THE MODULE AND COMPRESSED
THE RETAINING RING TABS ON THE CONTACT.
7. Replace the module cap using both hands to push the separated
halves together. Replace and tighten the module retaining screws to a
maximum torque of 1.5 in-lbs [0.16 Nm].
NOTE: The process shown here uses standard/90 series modules. The same
process is used for modules from other series.
