[TowerTalk] Assembling Hygain Tailtwister rotor 9 pin connector

[Al Kozakiewicz]

Did you look on te.com for info?

You need the right tooling if you want a proper connection. Those wings are the strain relief for the wire insulation and the proper crimp tool will ensure that they will fit in the hole after installation.  You need to push the wire/terminal combo in far enough for the locking tabs to engage.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Assembling Hygain Tailtwister rotor 9 pin connector

Hello,

I am assembling the 8 pins of the 9 pin cable connector for a "new to me"
Hygain Tailtwister. I know I'll only get one shot at this unless I have a pin extraction tool. It is the Amp 09 StdSx Plug with female pins. I have Google searched assembly instructions with no luck.

There is a double set of "wings" for holding the wire. Do they need to go all the way into the back of the connector? If so, it looks like I will need to trim them as they are too long to fold over the wire.

Thank you!
