◆Packaging of the complete cable assemblies

Exercise caution as not to tangle, twist or deform the complete cable assemblies when packaging. Special care should be

taken NOT to apply any excessive stress to the individual wires.

When removing the cable assemblies from the packaging do not pull on the wires. Make sure that the latch-locks are not

interfering with packaging.

◆Mating of the connectors

These connectors have a built in polarizing feature and will NOT mate when reversed. Do NOT try and force tem together.

Align the connectors as shown on the illustration below and fully insert the plug into the receptacle. Confirm that both latch-

locks are fully engaged.

Additionally, this connector is equipped with reverse-insertion preventing mechanism, but a forced mating with a minimum

force of 25N could damage the connector.

Avoid any inappropriate mating, and perform the mating operation after checking the above-mentioned polarity indication.

◆Treatment after mating has been completed

After mating, please take care to prevent any stress or load on the connector during the routing of cables.

If a load of a minimum of 5N is applied on the cable, the cable (crimp contact) could come off. Further, if the entire cable is

pulled with a minimum force of 20N, the connector could be broken.

Please take extra care not to pull the cable and cause cable disconnection.

If you use a small gauge coaxial plug, a repeated rotation could also cause cable disconnection. Do not use the cable by

rotating it repeatedly. The rotation times should be limited to a maximum of 10 even if rotation is required for routing.

If your use requires folding back of the cable over the base of the connector, make sure to maintain a large turn-back

radius away from the connector base.

Pulling in the horizontal direction:

Not acceptable

When you use the cable

by turning it back

Take a large radius

Keep the turn-back position away

from the root of the connector.

Rotation in the vertical direction:

Up to a maximum of 10 times

Pulling in the vertical direction:

Not acceptable
