Lectrosonics Right Angled TA3 and TA5-Female Connector Kit - Manual (Page 3)

Model Description
Rio Rancho, NM 3
IMPORTANT: Connect the cable into the receiver
or microphone and make sure it is working before
crimping the cable clamp.
Slide the cable clamp into the hous-
ing, making sure the tab seats in the
keyway on the housing. Gently push
the cable into the housing to leave a
little slack in the wires before crimp-
ing.
DO NOT ROTATE THE
CONNECTOR SLEEVE MORE
THAN 90 DEGREES IN TRYING
TO ORIENT THE CABLE EXIT
DIRECTION.
Step 6
Crimp the tabs on the cable clamp.
If it is necessary to ground the
housing to the cable, use the
smaller cable clamp tabs to grab the
cable shield. The larger tabs should
always go over the cable insulation and the tubing to
keep the insulation from working up the cable. The
housing will normally ground to the transmitter case
through the retainer, but some lavalieres really like to
have the cable clamp tabs grab the shield for better RF
rejection.
Step 7
Slide the backshell over the clamp and thread it onto
the housing.

NOTE: Larger silicon tubing is normally positioned over
the cable clamp after it is crimped. Smaller silicon tubing is
normally positioned under the cable clamp before it is crimped.
Also see Step 6 below about grounding of some lavaliere mics.
Step 1
Install the set screws into the right angle housing. Turn
them in a few turns, but do not tighten them. Slide all
the parts onto the cable in the order shown above.
Step 2
Strip the outer insulation of the cable back about 1/2
inch. Strip the insulation on the inner wires back about
1/8 inch.
Step 3
Solder the wires onto the pins on the insert as needed.
For the SR receiver, refer
to its manual for pinouts.

For microphones to be
used with Lectrosonics transmitters, refer to the Servo
Bias Mic Wiring document.

Step 4
Slide the spacer up, align the flats on it and then attach
it to the insert. Make sure the metal retainer is in posi-
tion on the plastic spacer and slide the assembly into
the connector sleeve. The flats must be aligned with
the black button on the sleeve for the assembly to fully
nest inside the sleeve.
Step 5
Orient the connector sleeve in the desired position
while the cable can freely rotate inside the housing.
Gently slide
the cable and
connector as-
sembly back
through the
housing until
the connector
is seated.
Apply pressure to make sure the connector assembly
is completely seated in the housing. Insert the long
end of the allen wrench and tighten the two set screws
to secure the connector sleeve.
