Option 2: Jumper wire.

TM 5-4120-394-BD

(e) Stagger splices, when possible, at least one splice length.

(f) Insure that minimum essential cable clamps have been replaced.

(g) Clamp cushions can be replaced by tape.

(2) Option 2: Jumper wire.

(a) Identify the connector pin at each end of the harness.

(b) Cut off the end of the defective wire.

(c) Thread the jumper wire along the path of the cable harness passing the wire through the clamps.

(d) Attach the jumper wire.

(e) Tape the jumper wire securely to the harness at intervals that will provide protection from vibration or

sagging.

Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is completed, as soon as practicable, repair the equipment using

standard maintenance procedures.

4-9. Connector Pin Damaged (Broken or Missing). If the pins are too small, or time is insufficient, the entire connector

should be replaced. A replacement connector complete with a pigtail removed from another environmental control unit

can be spliced to the wiring harness (see figure 4-2). If the connector is attached to shock mounted equipment, the wires

should be long enough to insure free movement of the equipment on its shock mounts. Procedures are the same as

repairing a wire bundle.

4-10. Wires Broken. Broken wires can be spliced several different ways to restore an electrical circuit. The available

tools and materials will determine the method used. Soldered connections conduct current the best and should be used

whenever possible.
