7. Insertion and removal

operation

Insertion operation

Insertion operation shall be carried out in steps (1) placing the crimp socket, (2) insertion, and

(3) check the mated state.

(1) Placing the crimp socket

Place the crimp socket so that the friction locks in 4 places in front and behind the crimp

socket come into contact with the header.

(2) Insertion

Press down on the center of the crimp socket, and mating is complete.

(3) Checking the mated state

Check if the crimp socket is securely mated.

If one end floats or is mated at an angle, unmate, and mate it again.

When the crimp socket is inserted, it is possible that only the friction lock on the cable side

is inserted, as shown in the Figure below.

In this case, push the non-cable side of the crimp socket to correctly mate.

If the connector is inserted when the crimp socket isn't placed correctly, it is possible that

only the friction lock on the non-cable side is inserted, as shown in the Figure below.

In this case, unmate, and mate again.

Forcible mating will lower the retention force.

Friction lock

When crimp socket is correctly aligned,

the top of the crimp socket is parallel to the board.

Press down at the center.

Mating is complete.

Push the non-cable side of the crimp socket.

Insert again.
