Lower the press handle to assemble the
connector. It is recommended to check
the tool setup before starting each
production run. Proper seating of the
connector cover onto the connector body
can be checked by measuring the height of
the connector/cover assembly.
The 101XX-8000 plug may be assembled
with a strain relief that is installed on the
topside of the plug. Bend cable over the
top of the connector and snap both inside
and outside latches into the body.
