[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 19105, member: 67"] Re: multi pin connectors Correct? I suppose that depends on other criteria, but in general the video shows proper technique for this kind of connector. The straight-through and roomy nature of this connector's back shell makes assembly easier than with connectors that have shorter back shells or that have angled cable exits (like ELCO-EDAC). The key to any cable assembly is proper wire preparation and fastidious attention to detail (like insulating the shield/drain/earth wires, the shrink collar where the individual pair jacket is removed and in the pin insertion process). I like to have someone else in the shop "audit" each row of pins before the next row is inserted. I've seen Hellerman sleeves used in place of small lengths of heat shrink, too. Geri O'neil builds most of the mults for his shop. Hopefully he'll see this thread and contribute regarding other connector types he's worked with. Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
