Electrical ‘These devices are intended for use with 15 A, 2 mm? [14 AWG], and 20 A, 3 mm? [12 AWG] solid-coppar-conductors, 300 Vac maximum branch circuits, and 105°C [221°F] maximum operating temperatura. 3.2. Applications These devices are Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) Listed to U.S. and Canadian safety standards under UL Fite £67250 for use in manufactured builaings in accordance with 1999 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 545-13 (Comoonent Interconnections): mobile homes, manufactured homes, and mobile home parks NEC article 55¢—10(4) (Wiring Mathods and Materials and Component interconnections); and recreational Vehicles and recreational vehicle parks NEC Article 551~47(0) (Wiring Methods and Component Interconnections). The equivalent NEC Articles can be found in the Cenacian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 70, for use in factory bul relocatable structuras and non-relocatable structures. The Type NM-1 splicing device is also used with the Type NV-3 T—Tep deviee [UL listed £57250). This combination (NV/-1 and NM-3) is sultable for surface mounting without an outlet box in exposed cable witing and in existing bulldings/owelings where the cable is installed in accordance with and as permitted by Article 836-21 (Nonmetallic Steatned Cable and Devices of Insulating Material - 1999 National Electrical Code) and the Canaaian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 12-522. 2016 RovNonmetallic Sheathed Cable Interconnection Devices 114-1045 3.3.

The Type NM-2 deviee is to be factory installed anywhere along a nonmetallic sheathed cable. The cable must be prepared (cut, stripped, and formed) to allow the davice to be assembled in only cne position (to maintain the Integrity of the polarity arrangement). The conductors and stripped cable jacket ara completely within the enclosure and strain-reliaf cover. When used to connect expandable or dual-urit mebile homes, the connector ends are to be located where they are protected from moisture and physical damage during transport to the mobile home lot 3.5. Building Site and Dwelling Site Installation ‘The separate modules of a building or dwelling assembled on location are to be connected electrically by the simple plug-in connection (including @ mechenical latch) of mating pairs theraby providing circuit continuity. The connected oairs may or may not be fastened in place. The connactad pairs may or may not be concealed by the installation, RevB 3016tayezar[exceones aMP 114-1045 Nonmetallic Sheathed Cable Interconnection Devi 36. Assembly Procedures Rofer tothe Instruction sheet packaged with each device for spectic assembly procedures. Instruction shests| (408-series) are referenced in Paragraph 2.4 A Spacing ‘Spacing between uninsulated lve parts or unineuleted conductors ot opposite polarity and between Uninsviated live motal parts or uninsulated conductors and daad-metal parts should not be lass than 4.76 mm [.188 in. over the surface and 3.18 mm [.125 inJ through the alt. B. Device Marking ‘The clear thermoplastic strain-rolief cover is marked “AMP.” The back of the housing is marked “TYPE NM-1, NM-2, or NM3, 300V, 20A, NM 14 & 12 SOLID COPPER ONLY, DO NOT RE-TERMINATE.” The reverse side of tie housing, adjacent to the conductor contacls, Is marked "BLACK, GREEN, WHITE” on the NM-1 and NM-3 devices and “RED, BLACK, GREEN, WHITE” on the NM-2 device. €. Components (see Figure 3) Housing - recognized component plastic material, polycarbonate-gray and polycarbonate-soft white. Approximately 53.98 mm [2.126 in.] long, 28.8 mm [1.125 in.] wide, 12.7 mm [.50 in.] high, and 1.91 mm [.075 in, thick. The housing features slots for contacts and locking mechanism. Contacts — tin-plated copper alloy, 0.61 mm [.020 in.] thick stamped, formad, and plated stock. Rear of contact provided with U-shaped insulation-displacement termination for conductor. Midsection provided with 1.59 mm [.062 in.] wide, 3.97 mm [.156 in.] long extension for locking contact into housing. ‘Strain-Relief Cover- recognized component plastic material, polycarbonats-clear. Approximately 89,68 mm [1.562 in.] long (3.98 mm [2.125 in.] for Type NMS davice), 28.58 mm [1.128 in] wide, 9.52 mm [.378 in.] high (22.22 mm [.876 in.] for Type NV-3 device), 3.05 mm [.120 in.] thick.

Mating/Unmating Procedures For The Type NM-1 Splicing Device (Part Number 1118377) To mate tha splices, oriant them so that the mating faces are aligned es shown in Figure 4. Slide the splices into each othar until the locking latches engaga the locking tabs. To unmate the splices, simultaneously press on the unlatching tabs (allowing the locking latches to ride over the locking tabs). Apoly a rocking motion to pull the splices apart.
