Pearl 3 Burning Amp 2023

I guess I am talking about the female end of the umbilical.
Never a worry. That's why I like photos and part numbers.

The female end of the umbilical does need to be disassembled.

568-NC4FXX-B

Unscrew the wire retention / strain relief (if it came assembled)

Push here... (photo) to remove the insert.

Solder to the cups on the back...

Slide it back in.

Reassemble...

Edited to add -- make sure to slide the strain relief / wire holder over the wire before soldering, particularly if there is anything attached already to the other end. 🙂

Re: The voltage regulators, the PN# @ItsAllInMyHead posted tripped me up because it’s got an “L” in it, and that usually indicates a small-package, small current version … look up 78L15 and you’ll see what I mean. So I screwed up when seeing that, and the PN# in the guide is still appropriate.

Yes, the L7815CP / L7915CP will work, of course, as the first hundred or so kits were packed with them and nobody has had issues with the regulators. Later and current kits are being packed with the MC part, they are operationally identical.


thanks. I am now struggling to put it back in place, it slides right out, I have to figure out why.

The inside of the barrel is keyed. It’s mentioned in the linked instructions above.

I m embarrassed to keep you busy with such a trivial issue. It goes in all the way alright, up to its place, but then it comes right out if I push it, whereas before the procedure it was solidly in place. It doesn't seem to be the tension in the metal lever attached to the inside bit, I raised that up a bit and still nothing.
