IDC Sockets for Discrete Wires

XG5

Precautions

■ Correct Use

IDC Connectors

• For best results, use only the XG5 IDC Tool. (See the “XG

@ -

Assembly Tooling and Accessories” datasheet.)

• Contact your OMRON representative for details on the XG5 IDC Tool.

• Check the Contact size (No. 1 or No 2) and wire size before connecting.

• OMRON has a IDC Tool Reference Manual. Contact your OMRON

representative to request a copy.

Mounting the Cover

• The cover is used to protect the connection position and prevent

shorting out.

Mounting the Semi-cover

• See the above diagram.

1. Insert part A of the Semi-cover into part B of the Socket.

2. Push the claws on both sides of the Semi-cover onto the Socket.

3. Make sure the claws are firmly inserted in the slots.

4. To protect the wires, use cable ties to bind wires that may be sub-

ject to tension even when a Semi-cover is used.

Mounting the Hood Cover

Vertical Hood Cover

• See the above diagram.

1. Insert the claws of part A of the Hood Cover into the slots.

2. Insert claws B on the Hood cover into part C on the other part of

the Hood Cover.

3. Wrap the wires with a cable tie.

Horizontal Hood Cover

• Follow the mounting procedure for the vertical cover.

• The left and right parts of the cover are different. Assemble care-

fully.

XG5M-N Double-row Socket Contact Numbers

XG4M Terminal Numbers

• The Contact numbers on the Double-row Assembled Socket match

the numbers on the XG4M Flat Cable MIL Socket. (See the above

diagrams.)

• When making IDC connections on the Double-row Assembled Con-

nector, use the polarity guide to distinguish the front and back.

(Note: The 10-contact Connector does not have a guide.)
