Assembly Instructions for Power Drawer Series 35 amp and 75 amp These assembly instructions include the instructions for wire termination, contact insertion, contact removal, PCB mount, and panel mounting of the Anderson Power Products 75 and 35 amp Power Drawer connectors. Available Tools Contact Insertion/Removal Tool Crimp Tool 20- 8 AWG Wire Termination Anderson Power Products recommends the following tools for wire termination. Crimping by other means may produce high resistance joints: Wire Size AWG Type MIL-STD Crimp Tool M22520/1-01 12 to 24 turret head/locator M22520/1-02 Crimp Tool M22520/23-01 8 turret head M22520/23-02 locator M22520/1-09 1. Strip the wire according to the table below: Length .020 (.51) Contact Size Wire Size AWG In mm 20 24- 20 .210 5.33 16 20- 16 .270 6.86 12 14- 12 .270 6.86 8 10- 8 .500 12.70 2. Place the contact mating end first into the crimp tool. Insert the wire all the way into the open crimp barrel making sure that all strands are included. Squeeze the tool handles until the cycle completes and the tool handles release. Remove the wire and crimped contact. Contact Insertion and removal 1. Tools Insertion and removal of the wire crimped contacts from the housing requires a contact removal tool. 20 contact M81969/14-11 12 contact M81969/14-04 8 contact M81969/14-12 2. Contact Insertion The Anderson Power Drawer connector has pre-loaded contact retention clips, housings. The contacts are loaded into the housing from the bottom. Line up the contact with the appropriate hole in the connector. Insert the mating end of the connector into the hole first. Slide the tool over the wire and butt it against the shoulder of the contact. Push the contact into the housing until it bottoms out. Squeeze the tool slightly and remove. Give a gentle pull on the wire to ensure that the retention clips are fully engaged. 3. Contact Removal To remove a contact, squeeze the tool, insert it into the appropriate hole from the bottom side of the connector, then allow the tool to expand out. The expanded tool should compress the contact retention clips, allowing the contact to be removed with a gentle pull on the wire. Once the contact is disengaged, remove the insertion/extraction tool. Note: PCB contacts are not removable from the housing once installed. Connector Mounting 1. Panel Float Mounting Float mounting on a panel is achieved with the use of shoulder screws. The shoulder screws used should match the following diagram: 1. Panel Fixed Mounting 2. Panel Fixed Mounting The Power Drawer connectors can be fixed mounted to a panel by means of a screw and washer through the mounting slots on the top and bottom of the connector. No special hardware is required to mount the connector in this manner.
