Remove the female connector from the vise (K2 or K2/100 end), and insert the male

connector (KRC2 end). Solder the wires to this connector using the same colors and pins as in the
previous step.

Locate the connector housing (backshell) and associated hardware.

Note: A single hinged backshell may be provided rather than a two-piece backshell.

Attach a backshell to the male connector at the

K2 or K2/100 end of the cable.

Figure 7 shows how

the backshell appears when assembled. Use the
provided cable clamp to hold the cable in position,
then secure the clamp with two screws. The
jackscrews must be retained by the shells. Secure
the backshell halves with the provided hardware (or,
if the shell is hinged, snap the backshell closed). Do
not over-tighten the two screws which secure the
cable clamp!

Attach the remaining backshell to the female

connector at the KRC2 end using the procedure
described above.
