1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of Circular Plastic Connectors (CPC). The
connectors are available in various shell sizes and standard or reverse sex configurations. The four series
available include standard, high, and power density connectors, and a combination standard and power density
connector. The CPC’s are designed for use with various contacts. Applicable wire sizes range from 30 to 8
AWG and can be crimped with hand tools or by automatic machines.
When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided on this specification to
help facilitate your inquiry for information. Basic terms and features of components are provided in Figure 1.

3.2. Wire Size and Preparation
Jacketed or discreet wire may be used with this product. Jacketed cable will provide more protection from damage.
Look for information on jacketed cable sealing kits in Instruction Sheet 408--7582.
Contacts are available for the wire sizes specified. Prepare wire for crimping by stripping insulation according to
dimensions in Figure 3. DO NOT nick, scrape, or cut the stranded or solid wire conductor during stripping operation.
NOTE
When using twisted pair cable, one wire should be cut shorter than the other by the same distance as the strip length
of the longer wire (E).

3.3. Loading Contact into Housing
114- 10038
Normally an insertion tool is not required to insert contacts into housings. However, if the wire bundle is large or the
individual wires are fragile, the use of an insertion tool is recommended. Refer to Section 5, TOOLING.
3.4. Shield and Strain Relief
If wire at the rear of the housing is subjected to strain, use of a strain relief will prevent damage to the contacts, wires,
and housing.
A. Strain Relief Kits
Several types and sizes of strain relief kits are available. Shield and strain relief kits include a shield, strain
relief clamps, and two self--tapping screws. They can be attached to the plug and/or receptacle of
free--hanging or panel--mounted connectors. Flexible strain relief boots and grippers are used with
jacketed cable (or firmly taped discreet wires) to provide wire protection and prevent contact pullout when
severe cable--angle applications are encountered, or when connectors are frequently disconnected and
reconnected. See Figure 4. Heat shrink sealing boots can also provide a splash--proof strain relief for
jacketed cable. See Paragraph 3.4. B.
NOTE
If a strain relief is used on the connector, the wires may be dressed to an angle at the end of the strain relief. However,
without use of a strain relief, the wires should not be dressed closer than 63.5 mm [2.50 in.] from the back of the
housing. To prevent damage to contacts and/or housing, avoid exerting stress on wire.
