3.18. Strain Relief and Wire Dress
If necessary, wires can be bundled together and supported with cable ties or similar device. Wires must not be
stretched or confined in any way. Therefore, the wires must remain perpendicular to the connector and avoid
an excessively sharp bend radius. The minimum distance for the cable tie, measured from the housing at the
wire end of the connector to the cable tie is shown in Figure 20.

3.19. Repair and Removal
Connectors, contacts, interface seals, wire seals, and cavity plug seals are not repairable. Any damaged or
defective components MUST NOT be used. Terminated contacts or wire seals MUST NOT be re--used by
removing the wire.
Standard de--soldering methods must be used to remove pin headers from the pc board. Removed pin headers
MUST NOT be re--used.
Keying plugs must be removed from the mating face of the connector using pliers.
4. QUALIFICATION
No qualifying support for mini--universal MATE--N--LOK splash--proof sealed connectors was defined at the
time of publication of this document.
5. TOOLING
Tooling part numbers and instructional material packaged with the tooling are shown in Figure 21.
5.1. Hand Tools
Hand tools for manual application of loose--piece contacts are available to cover the full wire size range.
Only CERTI--CRIMP II hand tools (or similar type of tools) can be used t o crimp these contacts with wire seals. The
wire seals are not compatible with other types of hand tools.
5.2. Extraction Tool
The extraction tool is used to remove the contacts from the plug housing or the cap housing by releasing the
contact locking lance from the housing without overstressing the contact.
5.3. Insertion Tool
The insertion tool is available for inserting contacts crimped onto small wire sizes or when the wire bundle is
too large for hand insertion.
5.4. Applicators
Applicators are used to crimp strip form contacts onto pre--stripped wire, and provide for high volume, heavy
duty production requirements. The applicator must be installed onto a power unit.
