Wires Broken.

TM 5-3835-222-BD

7-10. 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 equipment can be spliced to the equipment wiring harness as shown. If the connector

is attached to shock mounted equipment, the wires should be long enough to ensure free movement

of the equipment on its shock mounts. Procedures are the same as repairing a wire bundle.

7-11. 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.

Personnel/Time Required:

1 soldier - 10 - 20 minutes

Materials/Tools:

Crimping Tool

Solder, Rosin-Core (appendix C, section II, item 34)

Wire, Splice (appendix C, section II, item 52)

Tubing, Heat Shrunk (appendix C, section II, item 46)

Procedural Steps:

a. Strip end of broken wires.

b. Install a section of plastic sleeving or shrink tubing, if available, over one end of the broken wire.
