Manual assembly instructions
Wire strip requirements:
- Outer insulation strip length (if any): 10 to 20 mm.
- Wire insulation strip length: 1.5 mm.
Perform the following steps:
- Cut the leads of the resistor so that each lead is approximately 5 mm long.
- Solder two short wires directly to the leads of the resistor.
- Cover the resistor, its leads with the wire soldering joints, and at least 3 mm of each wire past the end of the lead with a single piece of heat shrink tube.
- If necessary, bend both leads of the resistor so that they point in the same direction.
- Apply heat to recover (shrink) the insulating heat shrink tube. This step can be performed later if necessary.
- Crimp JST GH terminals onto the free ends of both wires.
- Insert the crimped terminals (wires) into a JST GH plug according to the specified pinout.
- Using an ohmmeter ensure that the resistance between the pins 2 and 3 of the plug is within 120±10 Ω.
UCANPHY Micro to UCANPHY D-Sub adapter cable
A twisted-pair adapter cable with UCANPHY Micro plug (JST GH, 4 circuits) on one end and UCANPHY D-Sub socket (D-Sub DE-9F) on the other end. This cable serves as an adapter between different types of UCANPHY connectors.
| Function | UCANPHY Micro pin number | Wire | D-Sub DE-9F pin number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bus power | 1 | Flat or twisted with Ground | 9 |
| CAN High | 2 | Twisted with CAN Low | 7 |
| CAN Low | 3 | Twisted with CAN High | 2 |
| Ground | 4 | Flat or twisted with Bus power | 6 |
Cable requirements: same as for the UCANPHY Micro patch cable.
