3. Setup u Installazzjoni

Follow these steps to properly install the strain relief adapter onto your 6-pin circular connector:

1. Ipprepara l-Konnettur: Ensure your 6-pin circular connector is fully assembled and wired according to its specific instructions.
2. Attach Adapter Body: Thread the main body of the 10-101987-103 adapter onto the rear of the circular connector. Tighten it securely by hand or with an appropriate tool, ensuring a snug fit without over-tightening.
3. Poġġi l-Cable: Route the cable through the opening of the adapter body.
4. Installa Clamp Biċċiet: Poġġi ż-żewġ clamp pieces around the cable, inside the adapter body. Ensure the grooves on the clamp pieces align with the cable's diameter for a secure grip.
5. Sikura l-Clamps: Insert the provided screws through the holes in the clamp pieces and into the threaded holes in the adapter body. Tighten the screws evenly until the cable is firmly gripped by the clamp, providing effective strain relief. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the cable jacket.
6. Ivverifika l-Installazzjoni: Gently pull on the cable to confirm that it is securely held by the strain relief and that no undue stress is placed on the connector's internal connections.

4. Prinċipji Operattivi

Ladarba installati, il- Amphenol 10-101987-103 adapter functions passively to protect the cable-to-connector interface. It distributes mechanical stress (pulling, bending, twisting) away from the delicate solder joints or crimp connections within the circular connector, transferring it to the more robust cable jacket and the strain relief mechanism itself. This significantly extends the lifespan and reliability of the cable assembly.

5. Manutenzjoni

Il- Amphenol 10-101987-103 strain relief adapter requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the adapter for the following:

• Issikkar: Ensure all screws and the main adapter body remain securely tightened. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
• Ħsara Fiżika: Check for any cracks, bends, or corrosion on the metal components. Replace the adapter if significant damage is observed.
• Integrità tal-Cable: Inspect the cable jacket where it enters and exits the strain relief for signs of wear or damage.

To clean, wipe the adapter with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the installation or use of the strain relief adapter.

• Ħruġ: The adapter does not thread onto the circular connector.
  • Soluzzjoni: Verify that the circular connector is compatible with a Size 14 adapter. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris. Do not force the adapter.
• Ħruġ: The cable is not securely gripped by the clamp.
  • Soluzzjoni: Ensure the correct cable diameter is used for this strain relief. Re-check that the clamp pieces are correctly seated and the screws are tightened evenly and sufficiently.
• Ħruġ: Screws are difficult to tighten or loosen.
  • Soluzzjoni: Use the correct screwdriver size. If threads are stripped or damaged, the adapter may need replacement.
