SMKITTA5

Wiring for UHF Transmitters

The diagrams shown on page 3 represent the
basic wiring necessary for the most common
types of microphones and other audio inputs.
Some microphones may require extra jumpers
or a slight variation on the diagrams shown.

Component Parts

Insulator

Latchlock

Insert

Installing the Connector:

1) If necessary, remove the old connector from
microphone cable.

2) Slide the Dust Boot onto microphone cable
as shown. Remove the Strain Relief from
the backshell (if present).

3) If necessary, slide the supplied 1/8-inch
diameter black shrink tubing onto the mi­crophone cable to ensure that the cable fits
snugly in the Dust Boot.

4) If required, use the resistors included with
this kit to configure the TA5F to your par­ticular microphone according to the wiring
diagrams on page 3.

Resistors included:

 •Two1.5Kohm(shorterleads)
 •Two3.32Kohm(longerleads)

NOTE: The resistors may also be supplied on a
card with the values indicated.

The resistors are soldered onto the wires as

indicated in the diagrams on page 3.

Slide a length of the supplied .065” OD clear

tubing over the resistor and wire before
soldering the resistor to the pin.

5) Run the wires through the Insulator and
solder the resistors to the correct pins on the
Insert as indicated in the diagrams.

6) Align the flat sides and attach the Insulator
to the Insert.

7) Slide the Cable Clamp over the wires and
attach it to the insert. Crimp the fingers as
shown on the following page, leaving a little
slack in the wires between the fingers and
the insert.

8) Slide the completed assembly into the
Latchlock. Orient the tab on the Insert to
align with the notch in the Latchlock to
allow it to fully seat. Thread the Backshell
onto the Latchlock and tighten it.

Strip and position the cable so that

the clamp fingers can be crimped

to contact both the mic cable shield

and the insulation. The shield

contact reduces noise with some

microphones and the insulation

clamp increases ruggedness.

NOTE: This termination is
intended for UHF transmitters
only. VHF transmitters with
5-pin jacks require a different
termination. Visit the website
for details. Search: “mic wiring.”
