The Cadillac EP Series is derived from the Clements CN Series, a UL and CSA certified ruggedized general
purpose connector that has earned a reputation for performance and quality in the Industrial and Marine, Oil and
Gas Markets. As an outgrowth and variant of Mil-C-5015 threaded connectors the CN Series provides a flexible
design for the toughest connector applications. In keeping with the same performance as the CN Series,
Clements has introduced the EP Series, offering increased performance and explosion protection in hazardous
environments. Clements has certified this connector series for use in a Zone 1, Gas IIC and Dust 21 environments with IP68 environmental sealing characteristics and T6 temperature class.
The connector hardware is manufactured from a machined aluminum alloy with a durable hard anodized black
finish. Alternate materials are available upon request by consulting the factory. The black hard anodized finish
is scratch resistant and is available in the following shell styles; panel mount receptacle, fixed in-line receptacle,
in-line receptacle and plug. The EP Series adds specially designed plug and receptacle shells with protected
coupling nut and environmental dust covers for hazardous locations. The same rugged backshell hardware as
offered in the CN Series is available; basketweave, mechanical clamp, standard gland nut (potting required) and
Ex d approved cable glands. The EP Series backshell hardware offers extended length cable adapters to
provide cable protection and ease of assembly of multiple cable terminations. Offered with customizable rubber
cable grommets and washers to fit various cable OD’s these components provide the added environmental
sealing and performance required in hazardous applications. The plug connector coupling is designed for quick
mating and unmating with a robust self-cleaning threaded design. Locking is provided on the plug coupling nut
with two allen head set screws. The EP Series connector hardware is specially designed for optimum interface
length and tolerances to ensure explosion protection as certified in hazardous environments.
Clements offers a versatile, reverse gender, field installable insert system. All inserts can be supplied with
alternate polarization to prevent unwanted mateability. This feature is especially useful in applications utilizing
multiple connectors of the same configuration. As on our CN Series a comprehensive range of inserts is
available to suit wire sizes #18 awg to 4/0 awg in single or multiple or mixed configurations. Clements EP Series
insert configurations are listed on pages 11 – 15. Three insert styles are offered; crimp, solder or pressure
termination. Contacts are manufactured using high performance copper alloy with standard silver plating and
optional gold plating available. Please refer to insert chart on page 10 to determine available insert style. While
each of these styles provide a slightly different insert design, all insert types provide water, vapor, moisture and
dust resistance. All three styles offer a rugged rigid front dielectric for pin and socket configurations. No matter
which EP Series insert you select, the three termination styles offer versatility and serviceability without sacrificing
performance.

Insert Configurations
Introduction
Plug and receptacle contact inserts are selected according to requirements for Service Voltage Rating,
Number of Contacts, Wire Size and Ampere Rating. Pin or socket inserts are interchangeable in male
and female barrels. The EP Line Insert Configuration Listing is used to identify various contact insert
arrangements. For the engineer, it provides visual selection of the insert configuration needed to satisfy his requirements. For the end user, the list provides general information useful in the termination of
plugs and receptacles. To aid the reader, the insert configurations are presented in numerical order,
based on the number of contacts in each.
The male insert illustration shown below (and those on the following pages) is shown as it appears
when viewed from the front. Contacts are shown by both physical position within the configuration and
by contact number. The contact number corresponds to the contact position shown on the rear face of
the insert illustrated as well as to both the front and rear faces of the mating insert. The symbol used
to show contact location is indicative of contact size. For example, the contact symbol in this illustration represents a #8 contact. An explanation of contact symbols is presented on each page of the listing. Each drawing also provides data on normal and alternate key positions. Drawings are reduced
from actual size of the insert configuration.
Note: Alternate keying or insert polarization is intended to resist improper intermating of plugs and
receptacles of like shell sizes and like insert arrangements.

Service Voltage Ratings (for various
specifications)
N.E.C. voltage rating is designated by
a service voltage rating letter which is
listed in this table and corresponds to
the insert configurations listings on
pages 11-15. The voltage to which
contact inserts are limited is a
function of the dielectric separation
between adjacent contacts and
between contacts and shell.

General Assembly Instructions and Precautions
1. Read assembly instructions before actually starting to
assemble connectors to identify the various component
parts, and to check for any missing parts.
2. Cut cable jacket and sheathing squarely and to correct
length, using wire strippers that have been approved for the
operation. In preparing the individual wires in cables and
harnesses for assembly, make allowances in length for
reaching the outer most circle of contact cavities in the conductors. The insulation should be cut progressively longer
as they extend out from the center of the cable or harness to
assure sufficient length.
3. Follow the Contact Rating/Dimensions Table covering
maximum cable stripping lengths for effective cable gland
sealing. All conductors should be fit into contact wire wells
correctly. A practice layout should be done so that an
assembler can oversee what the finished termination will
look like.
a. Crimping and terminating of conductors to contacts
must be done carefully. Make certain that all wire strands
are fully bottomed in contact wells by checking through
inspection hole provided.
b. When contacts are to be soldered, avoid direct
contact of soldering tools to inserts. An open flame or hot
soldering tip can carbonize insulating materials and make
them useless.
c. Soldering conductors to contacts must be done
carefully and a non-conductive flux should be used to avoid
corrosion or hygroscopic action. Do not use solder salts or
acids, because they may affect the dielectric properties of
insulation materials.
4. Before starting actual termination of wires, it is essential
that cables and harnesses be laid out in a specific order in
accordance with the wiring diagram. Proper layout will
eliminate the need for twisting and crossover of conductors.
If the wiring layout is not correct, the termination operation
will be difficult or even impossible and the chances for making errors will be increased. Cable and harness assemblies
having a spiral layout must also be matched carefully to the
correct contacts in both the male and female inserts.
5. Some cables that will be used will have a “basket weave”
type of armor under the outer jacket (sheath) and over the
inner jacket. Since many regulatory entities require that the
armor be grounded at least at the source end, it is beneficial
to ground the armor via a spare contact within the connector.
Follow the removal of sufficient amount of armor can be
clipped away, but not all. An adequate amount should
remain in order that a small cross-section conductor, short in
length, be woven into the remaining armor weave and either
soldered or covered with mastic impregnated heat shrink,
creating an intimate bond to the armor. At the opposite end
of the short piece of wire a contact should be crimped and
inserted into the insert.
6. Use only correctly sized and provided Exd glands to
assure resistance to moisture and other contaminates. Use
only correct size sealing grommets to assure resistance to
moisture and other contaminants. Make certain that the
cable jacket is smooth where a grommet is to seal. Remove
any grooves or ridges if present by sanding or scarfing.
7. Use only the proper crimping tools that have been set or
calibrated with precision gages. See Crimping and
Insertion/Removal Tools page.
8. Make certain that all contacts are the correct size before
attempting to assemble in insert cavities. This point is particularly important when both power and control types of contacts are used in the same connector.
9. Be sure that ground contacts are correctly located.
10. Seat all contacts properly so that they will not be
damaged or become disengaged during connector mating
operation.
11. Use only the proper insertion tools and be sure that
they are aligned axially when pushing contact into their fully
seated position. See Crimping and Insertion/Removal Tools
page.
12. When inserts have more cavities then the conductors,
plug unused cavities with furnished contacts.
13. After all terminated contacts are inserted in their
respective cavities and inspected, the cable adapter or insert
clamp nut should be tightened with a wrench. This assembly
operation should be done by placing the components in a
vise with smooth-faced jaws and using a strap wrench.
14. When handling cables, use adequate support to prevent
damage to the internal wires. Exd glands are intended for
sealing purposes and should not be used as a cable grip.
15. If for any reason terminated conductors have to be
removed from an insert because of any assembly error or
change in circuitry, be sure to remove the cable clamp or
insert clamp nut first before extracting the contact and
reinserting it. This step is important because any attempt to
remove the contacts when the resilient insulator components
are compressed will result in damage.
16. If one of the connector poles is a ground wire, make
sure that it is grounded properly before the connector
actually is engaged.
17. When connectors using the same configuration
are mounted close together, different or alternate key
arrangements should be used to prevent mismatching and
possible damage to the electrical system.

Cadillac EP Series
18. Always inspect all aspects of a connector before actual
operation. It is recommended that normal DWV and IR tests
be performed on assemblies before using.
19. Never try to straighten bent contacts. Straightening
cannot be done properly and the plating on contacts very
likely will be marred. This will result in a high resistance
connection and will expose the base material to possible
corrosion.
20. A careful review should be made of the mixing
instructions that follow. Potting of the connector where
required should be the very last step the assembler does
prior to fastening down the grommet and nut on the cable
adapter. ‘Ringing’ out of the contacts with their mate should
be done prior to potting. Review the mixing instructions for
potting compound carefully. Refer to proper compound for
shell size.
21. When potting connectors, be sure to apply potting only
in mated condition to assure that contacts will align properly.
22. Each assembly operator should be his own inspector.
Worn, damaged, or defective tools should be reported
immediately to foreman and supervisors. Assembly operators
should be indoctrinated with this attitude and made to
understand the importance of always guarding quality.
Assembly workmanship is a significant factor in assuring the
quality of multiple contact connectors. Quality cannot be
“inspected” into connectors; it must be “built-in” during each
and every assembly operation
23. Do not attempt to remove inserts that are bonded or
locked in place in their shells.
24. Be certain that all components or connectors are
assembled. Each part performs a vital function and it would
not be included if it wasn’t useful.
25. The equipment may be used with flammable gases and
vapors with apparatus group(s) IIA, IIB, & IIC and with
temperature classes T6.
26. The equipment is only certified for use in ambient
temperatures in the range -20°C to +40°C and should not be
used outside this range.

Connector Assembly Instructions
Assembling In-Line Plug and In-Line Receptacle Connectors
1. Slide the specified components onto the cable about 12”,
threaded end last.
a. When specified, slide the cable mechanical strain
relief nut, grommet washer and grommet onto the cable.
b. When specified, slide the required Atex gland (threaded end last) onto the cable.
2. Slide the Cable Adapter onto the cable, up to the EX
Gland, large diameter first.
3. Slide the Coupling nut onto the cable, up to the Cable
Adapter, Grub Screw end first when required.
4. Group all conductors according to size to facilitate orderly
termination.
5. Working on one conductor at a time, strip the insulation
off per the wire stripping length given in Figure 1 and
terminate a contact to it, using a properly adjusted crimp tool,
following crimp instruction found in Contact Preparation
Instructions. Repeat the process for each conductor.
Populate the insert with contacts by poking each of the wired
contacts into its respective insert cavity following an electrical
schematic or the system you are wiring.
6. For Plug Assemblies, make sure the Grub Screws are
fully retracted then slide the Coupling Nut up onto the plug
shell until seated against it’s mating shoulder.
7. Thread the Cable Adapter onto the plug shell, and hand
tighten.
8. Thread the EX Gland onto the Cable adapter, and hand
tighten.
9. Using a strap wrench, fully tighten the cable adapter onto
the plug shell.
10a. For Ex Gland Assemblies:
Position the cable correctly. Using a hex wrench, tighten the
Ex Gland. The seal must grip the outer jacket of the cable
when the cable gland is tightened. Tighten Back Nut (or
Conduit Receptor) to Entry Body. Ensure seal makes full
contact with cable sheath. Tighten an extra 1-1/2 turns (up
to 2-1/2 turns for minimum cable).

Connector Mating Instructions:
CAUTION: Make sure power has been turned off from the
connectors before mating and un-mating.
Mating:
1. Turn power off, then remove environmental covers from
their respective connectors, make sure to retract the locking
grub screws to prevent thread damage.
2. Mating, insert the plug into the receptacle by hand, then
draw up the coupling nut by hand, using strap wrench fully
tighten coupling nut to affect environmental seals. Tighten
locking grub screws. Inspect work. Turn power on.
Unmating:
1. Turn power off, loosen locking grub screws, using strap
wrench, loosen coupling nut fully. Remove plug from receptacle by hand.
2. Install respective environmental covers tighten with strap
wrench and lock in place by using grub screws. Inspect work
before turning power on.
Preparing a Bulkhead Receptacle Connector for
Enclosure Mounting.
1. Slide the Bulkhead Adapter onto the cable, or conductor
group; knurled end first.
2. Terminate each conductor with it’s proper contact.
3. Populate the insert with contacts by poking each of the
wired contacts into it’s respective insert cavity, following an
electrical schematic for the system you are wiring.
4. Slide the bulkhead adapter back down the conductors,
and screw it onto the panel mount receptacle.
5. Use a strap wrench to tighten the bulkhead adapter until
fully tightened to shoulder.
6. Referring to potting instructions, stand the assembly
vertical, conductors pointing up, and fill the adapter with
cement to a level 1/16” below the top of the adapter. After
curing, this assembly is now permanently cemented, nonseparable and non-repairable, and can be mounted to the
bulkhead.
7. It is best to fit the connector to the bulkhead at a time
when the free end of the cable is not terminated to the electrical system. If this is not possible, then it is necessary to
rotate the connector assembly counter-clockwise to wind the
cable/conductors so that when the assembly is threaded into
a bulkhead in the subsequent instruction, the cable/conductors regain their most natural position, once the connector
is mounted to the bulkhead. (Rotations required to be
determined by end-user).
22
8. Thread the receptacle assembly into the bulkhead until
the seal touches down, then tighten it by the smallest fraction
of a revolution to the first instance that the mounting holes
line up with the threaded enclosure holes.
9. Position the protective covers’ lanyard tab over one of the
mounting holes and screw a fastener through it. Apply the
remaining fasteners to the other three holes with torque
suit¬able for screw size used.
10. Install the protective cover and tighten fully.
11. Secure both grub screws to prevent unauthorized
removal.
Potting Instructions for sizes #6 to #10
All cable adapters, other than ones suited for mating with an
EX-certified gland, must be filled with encapsulate (potted).
The material certified for use in filling this connector line is
3M Scotchcast Resin 4.
The user or installer shall consider the performance of these
materials with regard to attack by aggressive substances that
may be present in the hazardous area.
This material is a two-component casting system with a 1:1
volumetric mix ratio. Typical cure times at 70°F (21ºC) are
1-2 hours and at 50ºF (10ºC) 4-8 hrs.
The product is available in pre-measured “mix & dispense”
packaging. Potting material should be warmed to at least
60°F (16ºC). Follow the instructions on the package for
mixing and pouring.
Note: Refer to page 24 for potting material and
instructions for sizes larger than #10

Bulkhead Adapter
Bulkhead adapters should be filled to a maximum of 1/16”
below the top of the adapter. Care must be exercised so
that the potting compound does not contaminate the bulkhead threads, or spill onto the outer surfaces of the
receptacle flange.
In preparation for potting, the receptacle is to be mated to
it’s corresponding plug, so that all contacts are mated and in
their optimal post-potted position. When potting, the
receptacle flange should be rigidly fixtured in a horizontal
position. This fixture must be capable of holding the mated
connector pair in that position for a minimum of 2 hours at
room temperature. The exiting conductor/cable should be
fixtured inline above the connector pair, during the entire
curing process.
Mixing/Potting Instructions for 3M Scotchcast Resin4
material for sizes #6 to #10
1. CAUTION: Wear goggles or other eye protection
during all operations. Do not use potting material that
is 2 years beyond the manufacturing date marked on
the package.
5. Mix the entire contents of the bag, by alternately squeezing the bag, and working the bag across the edge of a table,
to fully move the entire contents of the bag, back and forth,
between chambers. Work the material in this manner, constantly, for a minimum of 4 minutes.
6. Once mixed, squeeze all the contents away from one
corner of the bag. fully clearing that corner of the bag of all
compound.
7. Make a 3/16” pouring spout by snipping off the bags
cleared corner.
8. To minimize air entrapment, slowly pour the compound
into the back end of the bulkhead adapter.
9. Set the bag containing the remaining compound aside, so
that it may cure. After cure, the bag may be disposed of
safely, along with common consumer refuse.
CAUTION: As the remaining compound cures, the bag will
become hot.
2. The potting compound is premeasured in “burst bag”
packaging. This packaging consists of a single plastic
bag that is compartmentalized into two chambers, each
containing one part of the two part compound. The
segregating feature is called a burst seal.
3. Lay the bag on a flat surface. Choosing either end of the
bag that is parallel to the burst seal, start coiling/rolling the
bag so that the compound in that half of the bag is pushed
up against the burst seal.
4. Squeeze and apply pressure to the rolled side of the bag
so that the compound bursts through the burst seal and joins
the compound on the other side of the bag. Unroll the bag.
