The control connectors and temperature sensor connector on Waterstar Saunas use IDC connectors. If our support department directs you to reconnect the wire to connector, please carefully follow these guidelines.
When using IDC connectors do not strip the cable ends; the insulation is pierced by the blades in the socket and is needed to ensure a sound joint. This can be done by placing the wire in position and pushing it firmly into place with a very small bladed screwdriver, like a jewelers screwdriver. Too
large of a blade will spread the blades in the socket and make an unreliable connection.
IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connector. The wire is brought in from the center of the connector block and is held by the wire clamp, the cutting blade has a gap slightly smaller than the wire core diameter and displaces the insulation to form a secure and reliable joint if done with the right tools. |
