Setup & Installation Instructions

Identify Connector Components

• Female housing
• Connector position assurance (CPA) lock
• Seals
• Crimp terminals
• Ensure all components are present before starting.

Prepare Wires

• Strip wire insulation according to the terminal manufacturer’s specification (usually 4–5 mm).
• Ensure no nicks or damage to the conductor.

Select the Correct Terminal

• Use terminals compatible with 22–20 AWG wires.
• Check plating (tin) and shape compatibility with the GT 150 series female housing.

Crimp Terminals

• Use a certified crimping tool for GT 150 series terminals.
• Insert stripped wire into terminal barrel.
• Crimp firmly without over-compressing.
• Verify mechanical and electrical integrity.

Insert Terminal into Housing

• Push the crimped terminal into the correct cavity until it clicks.
• Ensure you hear a tactile snap (indicating proper seat).
• Verify the terminal is secure and cannot be pulled out.

Install Connector Position Assurance (CPA)

• Slide CPA into place until fully engaged.
• CPA ensures terminals remain locked under vibration and stress.

Seal Installation

• Install wire seals on all wires before inserting terminals if using sealed configuration.
• Ensure the seal fits snugly in the housing.

Connect to Mating Connector

• Align the female connector with the male plug.
• Push together until the primary lock engages.
• Verify the CPA confirms proper mating.

Check Connections

• Pull gently on wires to confirm terminals are fully seated.
• Inspect sealing surfaces to ensure no gaps.
• Verify the connector is locked and aligned properly.

Label & Document

• Mark the connector with the part number or function if needed for future maintenance.
• Document wire assignments and connector orientation for system reference.

Safety & Handling Tips

• Do not force connectors together; misalignment can damage terminals.
• Avoid pulling wires without removing the CPA and terminals first.
• Ensure environmental seals are intact for automotive or harsh conditions.
• Follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications if applicable for mounting brackets.
