If you construct your own Sub-D connector with shielding, please do so according 
to the following procedure which correlates to the eight steps in the diagram that 
follows this procedure.

Continued on next page

1

Carefully remove about 25mm of the outer covering while taking care not to 
damage the braided shield.

2

Push the exposed braided shield back over the outer covering

.

3

Leave the first 12mm of the braided shield free and insulate the rear portion 
with shrink tubing.

4

Carefully strip about 5mm from the individual wires while taking care not to 
damage the copper strands.

5

Verify pin assignments then solder the individual wires to the solder cups of the 
Sub-D connector. (Check the wire colors.)

6

Attach the cable to the connector housing strain relief; the strain relief must 
have good contact with the exposed shielding of the cable.

7

Place the knurled screws in position.

8

Place the Sub-D connector in the groove of the half-housing (pin 1 at bottom) 
and press the two halves together.

Note: Once the halves of the housing have been pressed together, they cannot 
be opened without damaging them.
