The tool number is stamped on the tool side and a
logo marking is molded on both sides. Insertion tool
59803-1 is designed for connectors with contacts on
.100-in. centers (MTA 100), and insertion tool 59804-1
is designed for connectors with .156-in centers (MTA
156).
3. INSERTION PROCEDURES (Figure 2)
1. Place the connector block on a flat surface or
suitable support to prevent possible rocking when
inserting the wire.
2. Position wire over the contact in the MTA
connector. Make sure the end of the wire does not
extend over the shoulder of the connector. Start the
wire into contact with finger.
3. Place appropriate tool on wire over contact so
that the centerline of the tool matches the contact.
The tool must be positioned as shown in Figure 2.
4. Holding the tool handle perpendicular to the
contact, apply a constant, direct pressure until the
wire is terminated with the contact. Exert pressure
in such a manner as to avoid contact damage.
5. Remove tool and inspect contact for proper wire
insertion. If necessary, repeat the operation.
