Non-Garmin part numbers shown are not maintained by Garmin and consequently are subjectto change without notice.3. Alternate contacts for 18 AWG wire: As an alternative to the Positronic contacts listed (andprovided in the installation kit), the installer may use contacts made by ITT Cannon under P/N031-1007-001. These contacts require the use of a different crimp tool positioner than shownin the table, with the part numbers as follows: Daniels P/N K250, Astro P/N 616245, or ITTCannon P/N 980-0005-722.4. Extracting the #16, #18 and #20 contact requires that the expanded wire barrel be cut off fromthe contact. It may also be necessary to push the pin out from the face of the connector whenusing an extractor due to the absence of the wire. A new contact must be used whenreassembling the connector.5. For applications using 16 AWG wire, contact Garmin for information regarding connectorcrimp positioner tooling.6. All wires must be passed through the backshell before being assembled to connector.3.3 Backshell AssemblyThe GTX 32 connector kit includes one Garmin backshell assembly.
