7. Plugs Usage Precautions

7.1. Mating / Unmating

(1) To disconnect connectors, insert the end portion of I-PEX under the

connector flanges and pull off vertically, in the direction of the connector

mating axis.

(2) To mate the connectors, the mating axes of both connectors must be

aligned and the connectors can be mated. The "click" will confirm fully mated

connection. Do not attempt to insert on an extreme angle.

7.2. Pull forces on the cable after connectors are mated

After the connectors are mated, do not apply a load to the cable in excess of the

values indicated in the diagram below.
