ATTACHMENT II: INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Female insulation displacement connectors are used in the backbox cable harnesses. These
connectors can be identified by the side entry of the leads and by their black, plastic covers.
The mating, white, male connectors on the Sound, Solenoid Driver and Transformer modules
have .156" center to center spacing. Two pin lengths are in use. This, and all current games
have a .450" length. Older games have a .640" length.
During servicing, when mating insulation displacement connectors on male connectors with a
.640" pin length:
1. Hold the female connector parallel to the module surface.
2. Carefully align the openings in the female with the male pins.
3. Mate the connector set firmly but gently while maintaining the parallel relationship.
4. As resistance is encountered, stop applying force. An air gap of about .150" between the
male and female connector bodies is normal at complete engagement.
CAUTION: It is not necessary or advisable to force the female connector further onto the
male pins. Doing so may cause an intermittent connection.
When mating insulation displacement connectors on male connectors with a .450" pin length:
1.
Follow steps
1-4
above, but-
2. Disregard the CAUTION note. Also, no air gap exists between the connector pair on total
engagement.
