How to Install the 61930A Bi-Pin Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 61930A Bi-Pin connector for aluminum to copper cable transitions.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter, Crimping tool

Supplies needed:

Bi-Pin connectors, Insulators, Aluminum cable, Copper pigtails, Mechanical connectors, Mounting screws

  1. Prepare the aluminum cable

    Strip the aluminum cable to the length specified in the tool die selection table. Clean the cable with a wire brush or emery cloth to ensure a good connection.
