7. Precautions

■Connector Mating/Un-mating

* Hold the socket at both ends (as illustrated on Fig.2) when mating or un-mating. The mating/un-

mating of the connectors must be within the indicated angle of 20° on both axis.

■Bundling of the Wires

* To avoid wire damage or termination faults bundling of the wires should be at the distance of 20 mm

min. from the socket (Fig. 3-1)

* When bundling at the distance less than the recommended 20 mm, it is critical to avoid sharp bend

radius (Fig. 3-2) or apply stretching or twisting forces (Fig. 3-3)

* Do not mate/un-mate connectors when not mounted on the board.

* Do not use connector as the only support for the board.

* Do not use flux compounds when hand soldering.

* Slight color shade difference of the insulator bodies will not affect the form, fit or function of the

connectors.
