CONNECTION · TERMINATION

How the connection comes together.
How the cable connects.

The locking method determines how the interfaces mate; the termination method determines how the conductors connect. Understand the action first, then determine the configuration based on contact count, load, and installation conditions.

Real-product action clip: shows the lock ring being tightened. The footage does not include the full alignment and insertion process.

THREADED CONNECTION

Tighten to bring the mating fully home.

Tightening is completed by rotating the locking ring. During installation, keep the mating direction, threads, and sealing surface correctly aligned, and lock according to the requirements of the corresponding product.

  1. Verify mating parts and orientation first
  2. Align, then tighten the lock ring
  3. Confirm cable retention and sealing status.

From applicability to specific configurations.

The following are the maximum values among currently recorded configurations. Maximum current and maximum pin count may come from different configurations and cannot be combined into the rating of a single model.

WIRE TERMINATION

From conductor to contact.

First confirm the terminal structure and allowed wire gauge. After wiring, also verify insulation, cable retention, and interface sealing.

Termination illustration: conductor entering the solder cup. The image does not show soldering iron operation, solder application, or the complete soldering process.

SOLDER TERMINATION

With solder cups aligned, set the position accurately first.

Fitting the conductor into the solder cup is only one step of termination. Verify specific stripping, soldering, and insulation requirements against the selected terminal and process instructions.

Illustration of screw termination. The image shows a T-shaped box of unconfirmed model; it does not represent an actual L25 unit and cannot be used to determine current or wire gauge.

SCREW TERMINATION

Clamp the conductor, and leave room for installation.

Screw termination requires verifying conductor cross section, end form and tightening requirements. Cable fixing and sealing compression are confirmed separately, so that conductor contacts do not bear external pulling force.

M29 · RATINGS BY CONFIGURATION

Both are M29,
Ratings still need to be read separately.

The heavy-load configuration lists 50 A and 45 A in separate product columns; multi-contact configurations carry their own ratings. Verify contact count, voltage, conductor gauge, and termination method together for each configuration.

The catalog termination column for the 5-contact version lists solder/screw options; this does not confirm screw termination for every order number. Current documentation also provides no evidence of phosphor bronze with nickel/gold plating for this 5-contact configuration.

Applicable ratings after mating must be confirmed in combination with both-side configurations; part-number digits cannot be used to back-calculate ratings. AC/DC system and material conditions not specified in the catalog are not inferred; conductor limits do not mean the entire range can be fully loaded.

Locking, termination, sealing. Confirm each separately.

Locking

Confirm the mating structure, operating direction, and mating/unmating and release clearance.

Termination

Confirm conductor specifications, load per group, and the corresponding termination process.

Sealing

Confirm cable outer diameter, seals, and mating status, then verify the protection conditions.

Videos help explain the actions; confirm specific configurations with the datasheet, drawings and assembly requirements.
