SolderSleeve One-Step Wire And Cable Terminators

Installation Procedures For CWT Products

1. Introduction

SolderSleeve one-step terminators provide electrical termination in a wide variety of

interconnect applications. One-step terminator capabilities include terminating wires to

component terminals, ground wires to cable shields, terminating coaxial cable, and wire-to-

wire splicing.

A precisely engineered, fluxed solder preform within the heat-shrinkable thermoplastic sleeve

provides a completely soldered, strain-relieved, encapsulated termination. The one-piece

design of one-step terminators simplifies installation, while their transparent insulation sleeves

make inspection easy.

2. Application Equipment

Equivalent tools may be used.

Steinel HL-1802E Hot-Air Gun IR-550 Mark II Infrared Heating Tool

CV-5300 Hot-Air Gun MiniRay Infrared Heating Tool

CV-5000 Thermogun Process Belt Heaters

AA-400 Superheater Holding Fixture AD-1319

3. Part Selection, According to Application

Select correct part number from the SolderSleeve One-Step Wire and Cable Terminators

Selection Guide (H54335) or consult the technical data sheet (or Specification Control

Drawing) of the product (shield terminations, wire-to-wire splices, wire to component

terminals or for coax terminators).

4. Termination Procedure

WARNING

Follow installation instructions carefully. Use adequate ventilation and

avoid charring or burning during installation. Charring or burning the

product will produce fumes that may cause eye, skin, nose and throat

irritation. Consult Material Safety Data Sheets RAY5103 for further

information.
