MENNEKES AM-TITE PLUG SERIES
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 3
Figure 4
6. Connect wires to proper terminals in insulator block. Back out terminal pressure screws if needed, but do not remove. Insert
conductors including all strands into contact terminals according to the established wiring pattern. Conductors must bottom in
contact terminal well. If stripped according to Table A the conductor insulation should extend below surface of insulator block.
Tighten terminal pressure screws to the torque value listed in Table C. The terminal torque can be found on the insulator block,
see Figure 3.
7. Thread rear housing (1) into front housing and align black locking tab (10) with receiving piece on front housing (2). Pres tab (10)
as arrow directs to secure rear and front housing together.
8. Slide multi-cut grommet (8) and washer (7) into threaded entry of rear housing (1) Screw strain relief (4) into rear housing (1) and
torque per Table D. The torque value is located on the strain relief (4). Secure set screw in place so strain relief cannot turn.
9. Tighten cable clamp screws (11) around power cable to the torque in Table D. Alternate sides as needed to prevent binding.
