Installation and Operation with XC1 Accessory
Proper use of the complete assembly ensures optimal performance:
- Component Identification: Identify the main connector (X158 24T19K1P40) and the XC1 accessory. Understand the accessory's specific function (e.g., protective cap, mating tool).
- Pre-Mating Preparation: If XC1 is a protective cover, remove it. Inspect the connector contacts and the mating military Aviation Socket for damage or contamination.
- Harness Termination: For the connector, use precision aviation connector soldering or crimping for the high-density aviation grade terminals. Reference the specific pinout diagram.
- Mating Operation: Use the XC1 accessory if it is a mating tool to ensure proper alignment and engagement force. Engage the T-series coupling mechanism until fully locked.
- Post-Installation: If XC1 is a protective cover, install it on the unmated connector to prevent contamination. Perform comprehensive electrical testing on all circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What is the typical function of the "XC1" accessory?
A> The "XC1" designation typically refers to a specific accessory supplied with the connector. Common functions include a protective dust cap for the unmated connector, a specialized mating/alignment tool to ensure proper engagement, or a locking clip. The exact function will be specified in the product documentation provided with your order. - Q: What are the advantages of the "T" series coupling mechanism?
A> The "T" series coupling is often a threaded or advanced bayonet style designed for applications requiring extremely high vibration resistance and a hermetic seal. It may require a tool (which could be the XC1 accessory) for proper engagement, ensuring consistent mating force and connection integrity in critical systems. - Q: Can we order additional XC1 accessories separately?
A> Yes, additional XC1 accessories can be ordered as spare parts. We recommend providing the main connector's part number and lot code to ensure perfect compatibility. - Q: Is this connector compatible with other X158 series connectors?
A> Compatibility is generally ensured within the same X158 series sub-family sharing the same shell size, coupling style ("T"), and insert configuration. It is not designed to mate with different series like standard 8 pin military connector types. - Q: What documentation is provided for the accessory?
A> Documentation includes instructions for use (if the accessory is a tool), specifications, and any maintenance guidelines. This is provided alongside the standard connector technical data.
