Description: **Introduction to the iFixit Guide for...
Steps:
- Assembly of an aerial plug socket (European) on a 1.5 m cable, removing the PC screen power socket (Recycling a cable for another use).
- Disassembly of the aerial intake screw.
- Identification of the terminals, we will connect Phase and Neutral at the 2 ends, ground at the central screw.
- Unscrewed from the screws to open the connection point.
- To cut the wire flush with the connector to be removed, we can use electrician's scissors, electrician's wire cutters, fine electronics wire cutters.
- Cut flush, to take advantage of the full length of the cable
- VERY IMPORTANT STEP, to avoid forgetting to insert the cover, (It has happened to all of us, not once, but more than once, it will be the first thing we insert).
- We take the measurement of the piece of white hose to peel or strip, more or less about 2 cm, note that from one manufacturer of bases on plugs to another this measurement can vary.
- With the scissors, CAREFULLY APPLYING ONLY LIGHT PRESSURE and turning in a circle, we will mark the stopping point to which it must be drawn.
- To peel the cover carefully, we can do it with scissors.
- Another peeling option is to make a slight cut with a utility knife and use fine electronic cutting pliers to help us.
- We remove the white rubber cover, separate the wires, and without excessive pressure with the scissors, just marking the plastic, we proceed to strip it.
- I like to rest the scissors on my thumb, as a fulcrum to be able to lever.
- Inserted the cables into the connections and tightened the fixing screws.
- Tight and fastening.
- Personally, I like to apply a drop of petroleum jelly to screws that are inserted into plastic.
- 1st It greatly facilitates the smooth insertion of the screw.
- 2nd Avoid or minimize the plastic cracking or breaking, facilitating future disassembly of the plug socket.
- "View of the assembled (one)."
- Application of another drop of petroleum jelly where the closing screw will be inserted.
- When the cover is on, the cover and the base have a specific mounting position; if it's upside down, it cannot be screwed in, and many cannot even be assembled.
- Screw insert.
- I hope this step-by-step guide is useful to you, as all aerial views of the socket are very similar.
