Banding Adapter
Banding adapters utilize a band of metal that fastens
and grounds cable shields to the outside of endbells.
This method of terminating shields has advantages in
that they typically use tools to tighten trim the bands.
These tools make the termination tight, repeatable,
reworkable (if you make a mistake just cut the band off
and start again) and facilitates service. Banding adapters
help lower the total applied cost by having simpler
designs that have fewer parts with uncomplicated
assembly procedures.

STEP 1: Strip wires. See above for correct strip
length for contact. Insert wire into rear of contact.
Wire insulation must push against rear of contact.
Wire must be visible through inspection hole.
STEP 2: M22520 series crimp tool and locator
is recommended. a here for choice
of turret head and selection setting according to
correct size, part number and wire gauge size.
STEP 3: Insert contact and wire into tool jaws.
To crimp, squeeze handles together fully until
ratchet releases and allows handles to expand;
otherwise, contact cannot be extracted from tool
jaws. Maintain slight insertion pressure on wire
while crimping contact to wire.*
STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or receptacle
and slip over wire bundle in proper order for
reassembly.
STEP 2: Using proper plastic or metal insertion tool for
corresponding contact, position wire in tip of the tool
so that the tool tip presses against the contact shoulder.
STEP 3: Press tool against contact shoulder
and, with firm and even pressure, insert wired
contact and tool tip into center contact cavity.
STEP 4: When contact bottoms, a slight “click” can
be heard as tines of metal retaining clip snap into
place behind contact shoulder.
STEP 5: Remove tool and pull back lightly on wire
to make sure contact is properly seated. Repeat
operation with remainder of contacts to be inserted,
beginning with the center cavity and working
outward in alternating rows.
STEP 6: After all contacts are inserted, fill any
empty cavities with wire sealing plugs. Reassemble
plug or receptacle hardware.

STEP 1: Remove hardware from plug or receptacle
and slide hardware back along wire bundle.
STEP 2: Using plastic or metal extraction tool with
proper color code corresponding to contact size,
place wire in tool.
STEP 3: Insert tool into contact cavity until tool
tip bottoms against the contact shoulder, expanding
clip retaining tines.
STEP 4: Hold wire firmly in tool and extract wired
