General Description

1.1 Description
The 62300-2900 flat flex cable termination machine
was developed to assemble .100 S.L. flat flex cable
harnesses.
The 62300-2950 is the same as the 62300-2900
except no electrical or pneumatic controls are
installed.
The 62300-3000 ribbon cable termination machine
was developed to assemble .100 S.L. IDT ribbon
cable assemblies.
The 62300-5200 and the 62300-5300 are the same
as the 62300-2900 and the 62300-3000
respectively except these have the carrier breakoff
option.
An operator loads a tube containing preloaded
connectors (70430,70431 or 40556 series for FFC, or
70400 and 70475 for SL) from 2 - 25 circuits (See note
below). As each connector assembly is terminated,
the terminals are inserted, then the machine
automatically loads a new connector into the
terminating nest, pushing out the previously loaded
connector. The operator then removes the harness
from the termination area and inserts the carrier strip
into the strip breakoff slot and bends the carrier strip
down to break it off. To process another harness, the
operator loads a cable, then depresses the foot pedal.
The machine then terminates that cable and indexes
another connector into position, and so on. This
machine is ideally suited for mid- volume,
semiautomatic applications.

Air Connection
Because there are so many variations in air
connections, Molex does not supply any type of
fitting for air installation. Thus the user must supply
a fitting of his choice to attach air of the correct
pressure and volume to the 1/4 NPT port on the FR unit. Use 1/4in. line minimum. Once attached,
adjust the regulator on the F-R to 80-85psig (See
Section 1.7.1. Air will not flow into the machine
proper until power is on and the “POWER ON”
button is pressed.
These terminators are easily changed from running
FFC to running ribbon cable and visa-versa. To
replace a worn punch or to change from one type of
tooling to the other, do the following:
1. Remove the four (4) M4 screws holding the
tooling cover. See Figure 1-4 and 1-5.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Remove the two (2) M5 flat head screws that
hold the punches.

3.1 Maintenance
WARNING: Disconnect the compressed air line and the power cord from the power source during all
maintenance operations.
Cleaning
1. Using a small soft brush, clean all the debris and dust out of both nests and the tooling at least once a day,
NOTE: The use of compressed air to clean the tooling is not recommended as it can cause debris to
wedge into the tooling and/or come flying out at the operator.
2. When it is necessary to replace tooling, care should be taken to remove any debris from tapped holes or
mounting surfaces. Debris can prevent tooling from being properly locked into position.
3. Keep the air filter clean. A visible coating of dirt in the bowl indicates that the unit needs cleaning. To
clean, Remove the bowl and filter element and clean with denatured alcohol.
Lubrication
Sparingly lubricate the sliding parts approximately every month with S.A.E. 10W motor oil or equivalent.
Preventive Maintenance Chart
Daily: Clean. See Section 3.1.

3.5 Fault Message Procedure
This terminator has built in fault diagnostics. When an action fails to occur properly, a fault message will
appear in the display. This messages indicates what did not happen and what sensor the controller is
expecting to see.
For Example: The following display appears:
S5
HSG. SHUTTLE
NOT FORWARD
This message tells us the following:
The controller is looking to see sensor S5 on and either the shuttle did not move at all, it moved and jammed
part way, or it went all the way but the sensor is not made.
The following example, while it uses the above message to explain the procedure, it is typical of the method
for handling most fault messages.
1. Determine where the shuttle rod is: Is it all the way home, part way forward, or all the way forward (to the
Left)?
2. If the shuttle rod is all the way forward jump to step 6.
3. If the rod did not move, check to see if the valve (SV5 in this case), is functioning correctly. See
Pneumatic Diagram in Section 5. Replace if necessary.
4. If the rod did not move or moved part way, check for bent cylinder rod, loose mechanical joints or debris
in the path of the rod. Also check the air pressure.
5. Repair, replace, clean or adjust as required.
6. Locate the appropriate sensor and determine if it is functioning properly by placing a piece of steel in
front of sensor. If the LED on the back of the sensor goes on, the sensor is OK. If LED does not go on,
check the plug. If this is OK, replace the sensor.
7. Make sure the sensor flag (if there is one) is positioned so that it activates the sensor when the shuttle is
all the way forward.
8. From the electrical schematic (See Section 6) it is determined that Sensor 5 is wired to input 008. Find
input 008 LED on the controller in the control cabinet. Check to see if this LED goes on when the sensor
LED goes on. If not, check the wiring between the sensor and the controller.

7.1 I.D.T. Termination Process Control
The I.D.T termination process is the interaction of
a terminal, wire, tooling, personnel, methods and
procedures, and environmental attributes that,
when controlled, produce a quality termination.
Quality control is an important aspect to quality
termination. It should not take excessive setup or
inspection time to implement, and can save a
harness manufacturer thousands of dollars in
potential rework or re-manufacturing.
The key to quality is to target nominal
specifications while continuously reducing
variability. Variability is the slight changes that
occur from wire to wire. There are two types of
variability, common and special. Common
sources of variation are those causes that affect
the process uniformly, and are created from
numerous small sources. Common variability are
inherent tolerances within a reel of wire, terminals
or connector housings. Also, common variability
is created by the natural tolerances of the harness
assembly machines. Reduction of variability at
the common level normally has to come from
changes at the wire, terminal, and tooling
manufacturer.
The second source of variability is referred to as
special cause. Unlike common cause, special
sources of variation occur irregularly and
unpredictably. Without checks throughout a run,
a tool becoming loose after the first hundred
cycles, or a damaged tool from a jam, may be
undetected until thousands of assemblies are
made.
This section assumes that the termination depth is
being measured with a resolution of .025 mm
(.001 in), and pull force is measured with a
resolution of 1 N (.25lbs).
7.2
Process Capability
Molex qualifies each I.D.T terminator for
termination depth and vertical pull force. (where
applicable) This qualification is performed on a
specified sample, and is targeted at 2 CpK.
Before a new tool is put in production, it is

recommended that a capability study be done by
the customer using their specific wire in their
process. A capability study is based on the
assumption of a normal distribution (bell-type
curve). It provides an estimate on the probability
of a measurement being outside of specification.

PPM - Parts per million potential defects.
A minimum of a 25 piece sample should be run.
The average and standard deviation should be
calculated for each specification.
A capability index defined by the formula below.
Cp may range in value from 0 to infinity, with a
larger value indicating a more capable process. A
value >1.33 is normally considered acceptable.
Tolerance
6*Standard Deviation
The CpK index indicates whether the process will
produce units within the tolerance limits. CpK has
a value equal to Cp if the process is centered on
the mean of specification; if CpK is negative, the
process mean is outside the specification limits; if
CpK is between 0 and 1 then some of the 6 sigma
spread falls outside the tolerance limits. If CpK is
larger than 1, the 6 sigma spread is completely
within the tolerance limits. CpK is calculated with
the lesser of the following formulas:
(USL - MEAN)
3*Std Deviation
(LSL - MEAN)
3*Std Deviation
USL = Upper Specification Limit, LSL = Lower
Specification Limit
Six sigma is a goal of many companies because it
represents virtually zero defects. The ability of a
company to achieve a six sigma level is dependent
on the amount of common variability in their

process. A termination hand tool will produce more
variability than a bench mounted terminator.
Operator run terminators will produce more
variability than a fully automatic machine.
A portion of the variability in harness assembly will
come from the instruments used to measure the
parts and the ability of an operator to repeat the
measurement. A drop gauge will measure more
accurately than a dial caliper. An automatic pull
force system will measure better than a hook type
scale. It is important that the measurement gage
has enough resolution. Also, two operators may
measure the same part differently, or the same
operator may measure the part different when
using two types of gages. A gage capability study
is recommended to identify what part of the
variability is coming from measurement error. The
variability from measurement error can keep CpK's
low.
The capability of the process should be reconfirmed if the production data is significantly
different from the capability study.
7.3 Production
Once the level of capability is established, the
machine is ready for production.
Many harness manufacturers run only a few
hundred or few thousand wires at one time. In this
case, it is not practical or economical to run a
twenty-five piece capability with every setup.
Setup Confirmation
After the setup of the termination process,
terminate five terminals with a shallow termination
depth. Visually inspect for tooling marks on the
terminal and housing, and measure termination
depth. Make the appropriate adjustments to the
machine. (Refer to product termination
specification and problem checklist sections if
needed.) After all adjustments have been made,
terminate five more samples for termination depth
neasurement. Then measure and document the
average depth, the maximum reading, and the
minimum reading. The range is considered the
maximum reading minus the minimum reading.
With a drop gauge and an experienced operator,
the range for termination depth is normally only a

few thousandth of an inch. This data becomes the
first point on the control chart.
When the termination depth has been confirmed,
the vertical pull force can be measured. This
checks the capability of the insulation crimp (strain
relief) to hold the wire to within the specification
limits.
This is best done with an automatic pull force
system.
Production (Control Charting)
It should be normal procedure for the operator to
visually check the terminal area for damage or
improper termination. Termination should be
checked throughout the run. The frequency of
each check is determined by the risk you wish to
take for scraping parts. A check every 250 to 500
parts is recommended.
Control Charting
Terminationdepth is normally control charted since
it is a quick nondestructive measurement and is
critical for the electrical reliability of the termination.
There are three primary purposes for control
charting. First, the number of setup samples are
normally small, and its statistical value is limited.
Second, since special-cause effects on a process
are irregular and unpredictable, it is necessary to
have a means of catching changes in the process
as soon as they occur. This prevents thousands of
terminations from being scrapped after the run is
over. Third, and most important, this data is
necessary to assess and improve the process.
Once the tooling process is setup and the wire size
is not changing, keep one control chart for wire
color changes, wire length changes, or setup
adjustments. Record the data point on the chart
before an adjustment is made. If data is recorded
after each adjustment, the process most likely will
assume control and provide little data for improving
the process. Write as many notes on the chart as
possible. The only truly effective and economically
sensible manner of managing a manufacturing
process is to understand, monitor, and reduce
sources of variability inherent to the process itself.
Every minute the process is down for setup or
adjustment is unproductive.

adjustment, but a close evaluation of the tooling. A
shift in the process between operators would not
indicate an adjustment, but an evaluation of
measurement capability. The idea of the control
chart is to identify what caused the shift to justify if
an adjustment to the process is warranted.

Measurements
Refer to the Example Control Chart above. What
does this sample chart tell us? A process shift
occurred between measurement 12 and 13. This
type of shift could occur due to a change in wire, a
change in connector lots, a jam in the machine that
damaged the tooling, a change in operators, or an
adjustment to the machine. Since the
measurements are still within specification, would
you stop production to make adjustments?
I.D.T.termination processes have been
producing product within specification for many
years. Today with statistical process control, the
philosophy of quality is being within
specification, is being replaced by being on
target with continuous reduction in variability.
Control charting is a tool that truly allows a
company to understand their process.
ATTENTION
Reference must always be made to
product application / termination
specification to determine harness
assembly parameters.
A shift in the process due to a change in wire
insulation may warrant a termination depth
adjustment. A shift after a jam would not indicate an
