3. DEFINITIONS

Refer to figure 5A12.

4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Instructions for use of MIL-STD-2003-5. This standard is designed to be utilized by a connector assembly technician and is formatted to be utilized as follows:

a. Determine the governing specification for the connector being assembled.

b. Proceed to the applicable Connector Assembly Procedure (figures in appendices 5B through 5H) and review to determine tools and materials required. Each appendix is designed to assemble a connector starting with the basic components and proceeding in a step-by-step manner to the completed assembly.

c. Instructions shown on the figures in appendix 5A identify a sequence of processes common to any connector assembly (for example, lead stripping, crimping, soldering). The conduct of these procedures shall be sequenced by the Connector Assembly Procedures. The technician should review these procedures to become familiar with their content.

d. Terminate the connector/backshell to the cable utilizing the appropriate Connector Assembly Procedure.

e. The technician should keep in mind that to install a cable with connectors onboard a ship, in most instances, at least one end will need to be routed through a kickpipe, standpipe, stuffing tube, etc. and, thus, cannot have a connector installed prior to routing onboard the ship.

These procedures are designed for use with military specification connectors and backshells. Commercial substitutions may result in deviations from these procedures. Manufacturer assembly instructions should be consulted in these cases. Equal tooling and materials (see 4.2) may be substituted provided the intent of the specification is achieved.

4.2 Or equal. MIL-STD-2003 uses the terms “or equal” to permit the use of parts, components, or tools that are equivalent and can perform the same function as the specified products. The use of the equivalent product is allowed as long as the same functional characteristics, performance, equipment safety, personnel safety, suitability for marine service, life cycle cost, maintenance cost, and supportability are attained, and agreement is obtained from

NAVSEA. The request for agreement for the use of “equal” products shall include data that supports that functional and performance equivalence is retained.

4.3 Consideration of electromagnetic shielding. For connector installations where electromagnetic shielding is required, or connectors need to be attached to cable conduit, the practices of S9407-AB-HBK-010 should be used.

Connectors for EMI applications shall be installed to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-1310.

4.4 Use of connectors not covered in MIL-STD-2003-5. MIL-STD-2003-5 does not cover every type of connector installed in ship systems. For other connector types, such as RF, DB, Audio/Video, USB, and RJ connectors, class or specific ship installation drawings, provided by the ship design activity, or connector manufacturer’s instructions should be followed for connector installation. The general requirements of this document should be followed. The specific requirements in Appendix 5A should be followed to the maximum extent practicable. For installation of fiberoptic connectors, see MIL-STD-2042.

4.5 Connector post-installation retests. Pin pull tests, contact push tests, and torque-controlled screwdrivers and wrenches, which were required in the past, are no longer required. However, SAE-AIR6151 or connector manufacturer instructions may be consulted for guidance to determine the proper torque and tightness for assembling and installing electrical connectors.

4.6 Inactive for new design documents. Some of the documents referenced in MIL-STD-2003-5 have been declared as inactive for new design by decision of the Department of Defense. Where replacement documents are designated, the replacement document is normally substituted for the inactive for new design document. Methods that reference inactive for new design documents shall not be used for new ship design unless approved by

NAVSEA. Components and products produced in accordance with the inactive for new design documents shall not be used for new design of systems or equipment; however, this does not prohibit use for maintenance, repair, or resupply purposes. In addition, use of components is not prohibited in cases where connectors must interface with connectors being supplied with Government Furnished Equipment.

4.7 Workmanship and inspection guidance. For workmanship and inspection guidance associated with connector installation, see S9300-A6-GYD-010. For any conflict between this standard and S9300-A6-GYD-010, the requirements of this standard take precedence.

4.8 Hazardous materials. Materials and products utilized to execute installation methods in this standard should avoid chemicals listed on the NAVSEA List of Targeted Chemicals (N-LTC) contained within

T9070-AL-DPC-020/077-2. These chemicals pose significant risk to the user, environment, or both, and are deemed both undesirable and unsustainable by NAVSEA. NAVSEA is minimizing the use of hazardous materials in procedures such as those covered by this standard. Alternative materials should be considered for applications covered in this document to minimize the use of targeted chemicals. NAVSEA should be informed of the need for the use of any of the targeted chemicals prior to procedure execution.

4.9 The terms agreement or approval. Wherever such terms as “approved” or “agreement” are used without further qualification, it is the approval or agreement of the Supervising Authority or NAVSEA, as applicable, that is intended. In these cases, the approval request and the response shall be formal, in writing, and traceable. Existing methods allowed by applicable ship specifications, such as departures from specifications, are acceptable. The

Supervising Authority, also referred to as the Supervisor, is defined in the applicable ship specifications.

5. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS

(See figures.)

6. NOTES

Cable preparation procedures (continued):

(3) Center a ¾-inch to 1-inch length of appropriately sized heat shrink tubing meeting the requirements of SAE-AS23053/5, class 1 over the armor termination point and shrink in place using a heat gun, prior to tightening the saddle clamps.

b. Backshell with armor clinching ferrules.

(1) Measure the length of the assembled backshell (PC 2 through 6) from the connector end to the inner armor clinching RFI ferrule (PC 6) (see illustration 3).

NOTE: On angled backshells, measure the center radius dimension.

(2) Add 2 inches and mark this dimension on the armor. Cut and remove the cable armor at this mark using a cable stripper.

CAUTION: Do not damage the cable jacket beneath the armor.

8. Verify cable diameter is compatible with grommet size for environmental seal.

a. Wipe the cable jacket with an approved solvent from table 5A1-I in order to remove grease, oil, dirt, and other debris.

b. Assemble, in correct order and orientation, the required backshell hardware to compress the grommet to the PVC jacket.

NOTE: Tighten without bottoming of adjoining assemblies (see 4.5).

c. Attempt to push backshell straight along cable, applying moderate pressure (do not twist); backshell shall not move. If satisfactory sealing cannot be obtained, build up or reduce the cable diameter in accordance with figure 5A2.

d. Remove all backshell components from the cable.

9. Jacket preparation for environmental sealing.

a. Measure the length of the assembled backshell from the connector end to the nearest grommet end (PC 3, illustration 3).

b. Add 2 inches and mark this dimension on the jacket.

c. Disassemble and relocate the backshell and clamp components on the cable. Verify that all parts are included and are in correct order and orientation. Assemble the backshell and locate it on the cable so that it will not interfere with connector wiring.

d. Remove the cable jacket to the predetermined length as follows:

NOTE: Ensure the cut does not penetrate the jacket completely (see illustration 5).

Cable diameter build-up procedures

Procedure:

1. These procedures shall be used when the cable entrance dimension of the backshell is too large for the cable diameter to which the connector backshell assembly is being attached.

2. The material used for cable build-up shall extend completely through the sealing grommet without interruption at completion of connector assembly.

3. The first method depicts the use of heat shrink sleeving as the means to increase the cable diameter. The second method depicts the use of telescoping bushings as the means of cable diameter build-up. Each method is designed such that it can be used individually or in combination with the other as the method for cable build-up.

4. The following method shall be used in conjunction with heat shrink sleeving. The cable diameter build-up shall not exceed the maximum cable entryway diameter (cable range) of the clamp.

a. Build up the cable jacket in the vicinity of the environmental seal or cable clamp or both as follows:

(1) Measure the installed length of the grommet, grommet follower, and cable clamp.

(2) Cut a correctly sized piece of heat shrinkable tubing meeting the requirements of SAE-AS23053/5, class 1 to a length equal to that measured in step 4.a(1).

(a) The size of the heat shrink tubing shall be selected from table 5A2-I such that the inner diameter after shrinkage shall be less than the cable diameter.

Method 5A-2-2

Reducing cable diameter for entry into a connector

General notes:

1. This method includes instructions for reducing a cable diameter for entry into a connector. Only use this method if the cable jacket diameter is too large for the connector to achieve proper strain relief.

2. Heat shrink tubing is required to replace the cable jacket inside a connector to achieve optimal strain relief for the cable and connector.

3. Continually apply layers of heat shrink tubing, as shown in the following illustration, until the diameter of the heat shrink tubing correctly matches the required diameter of the connector strain relief. Ensure that the heat shrink extends past the strain relief location and covers the end of the cable jacket. The heat shrink shall extend past the environmental seal inside of the backshell if backshell contains an environmental seal.

Individual lead stripping techniques:

1. Thermal stripping is the preferred method when compatible with the insulation type.

2. The following precautions shall be observed when stripping wires with either thermal or mechanical strippers:

a. Ensure the blades or heated stripping elements of thermal strippers are kept clean at all times.

b. Ensure all stripping blades are sharp and free from nicks, dents, and any other mechanical deformities that may prevent proper operation.

c. Ensure the correct stripping hole is used for the corresponding wire size. Illustration 8 of figure 5A3 is provided to show construction of a common conductor.

CAUTION: There are significant differences between Navy and commercial (AWG) wire gauges.

Ensure all comparisons are taken using the same convention.

d. When stripping the lead, hold the wire perpendicular to the cutting or thermal blade (see illustration 2 and illustration 7 on figure 5A3 for examples).

e. Avoid nicking, cutting, or otherwise damaging the wire strands.

f. Ensure there are no frayed or ragged edges after the insulation has been removed.

g. Ensure all insulation has been removed from the stripped area.

h. Conductor strands may be re-twisted if required to restore the natural lay and tightness of the strands.

Avoid bare finger contact with the wire strands.

3. Glass braid or tape and synthetic rubber shall be removed utilizing precision mechanical strippers in accordance with step 6.

4. Strip individual lead using thermal or mechanical stripping method (step 5 or 6). Table 5A3-II contains conductor information for common Navy cables (MIL-DTL-24643) and the recommended stripping method.

Note that table 5A3-II is not a comprehensive list of cables where conductor stripping will be necessary to attach a conductor to a connector contact. For cables not covered in table 5A3-II, consult specification sheets or cable manufacturer’s information. (For information on low smoke cables, refer to MIL-DTL-24643 and

MIL-DTL-24640. For information on non-low smoke cable, refer to MIL-DTL-915.)

a. Strippers shall be tested and adjusted on a test conductor prior to stripping actual cable conductor.

b. Avoid nicking, cutting, or damaging wire strands during stripping.

c. Take care to prevent small particles, especially those which are conductive, from entering into connector contact cavities. Particles may hamper proper seating of contacts and cause short circuits.

FIGURE 5A3. Individual lead stripping techniques.

Individual lead stripping techniques (continued):

d. Adjust the temperature to the insulation melting temperature listed in table 5A3-II for the specific cable type being stripped. If a temperature is not listed, use a precision mechanical stripper in accordance with step 6.

e. Check strip length on several test pieces. Strip length should meet criteria of insulation clearance (see step 7). Adjust strip length as necessary.

f. Insert the conductor to be stripped between the heating elements or stripper blades.

g. Twist the tool slightly or rotate the wire to ring the insulation while applying heat (see illustration 1).

h. Draw the wire from the tool. The insulation slug shall be removed with the heating elements.

6. Precision mechanical stripper (see illustration 3).

a. Ensure stripper is a precision fixed die cutting type (see illustration 3 for an example of a satisfactory stripper). Strippers that permit operator adjustment shall not be used (see illustration 4).

(1) Select the correct stripper blade for the size conductor being stripped utilizing data supplied by the manufacturer. Table 5A3-III is provided as an example of typical Ideal stripper models.

FIGURE 5A3. Individual lead stripping techniques – Continued.

Individual lead stripping techniques (continued):

b. Examine the stripper to ensure the blades line up for proper operation (see illustration 5).

c. Set the wire stop for the depth of the contact wire barrel as specified in the connector assembly procedure for the connector type being assembled, plus the allowable insulation clearance specified in step 7 (see illustration 6).

d. Check strip length on several test pieces.

(1) Strip length shall meet the criteria of insulation clearance (see step 7). Adjust strip length as necessary.

(2) Ensure correct stripping hole is used for corresponding conductor gauge. See table 5A3-II for conductor size.

e. Position the conductor in the stripper jaws (see illustration 7).

f. Squeeze the handles.
