Installation Instructions
Size 36 Connector Kit for MPL-B9xx Motor Power
Catalog Number 2090-MPPC-X163
About This Publication
This publication provides wiring instructions for the Allen-Bradley Size 36 Connector Kit.
This connector kit provides an a 1½ NPT connection for conduit enclosing the power wire
run between the power connector on a MPL-B9xx motor and its input power source.
The MP-Series Installation Instructions, publication MP-IN002, details the motor interface.
Wire the Connector Kit
Refer to the illustration and the power connector pinout for your MPL-B9xx motor when
wiring this connector.
Tools you need to assemble the connector include a wire cutter, wire stripper, flatblade
screwdriver Ø 2.5 mm (0.10 in.) maximum, and solder iron.
ATTENTION
Do not use a petroleum based, or similar lubricant when inserting the pins into
the housing. This may effect the dielectric characteristics of the connector, and
the retention of the pins.
Alcohol or a lubricant that cleanly evaporates is recommended.
IMPORTANT
Always make effective electrical contact between the wire and pin connection.
360° shielding must be provided from the connector backshell to the drive.
Connector components are assembled in the order shown in the figure.
1. Thread each power wire through the connector backshell and lock ring.
Publication MP-IN011B-EN-P - April 2007
2. Secure a contact pin on each wire lead.
a. Strip the wire lead to 16.5 mm (0.65 in.).
b. Fully insert the lead into the contact pin to the full depth of the pin.
Less than 2.5 mm (0.1 in.) of wire should be visible between the contact pin and
the wire insulation.
c. Solder or crimp the lead to the contact pin.
IMPORTANT
If soldering the wire-to-pin connection, provide an adequate cooling period
before inserting the pin.
3. Insert each connector pin in the appropriate location of the connector housing.
a. Verify the pin location before beginning to insert the pin.
b. Insert each contact pin fully.
The groove in the contact should fully engage the rib in the connector hole. The
contact should extend 8.9 mm (0.350 in.) from the rear of the connector housing.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each of the four power leads.
5. Fully seat the O-ring over the smooth end of the connector housing.
6. Thread the connector housing into the backshell, and hand-tighten.
