Assembly Instructions
Preparing the Cable
Align the cable with the guide marked STRIP GAUGE on the side of
the Connector, strip 7 to 8 mm of the cable sheath, and then twist the
wires several times.
Connecting the Cable to the Connector
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to push down the operating lever
inside the operation slot until it locks.
2. Insert the wire fully to the back of the wire insertion hole. Make
sure that the cable sheath is inserted into the hole, and that the
end of the wire has passed through the contact section.
3. Insert the screwdriver into the release slot, and gently pull back
the lever until a click is heard by resetting the lever.
4. Make sure that the following operations have been performed.
Check that the operating lever is reset.
Check that the procedure in step 2 has been followed. (Pull
gently on the cable to make sure that there is resistance, indicat-
ing that the Connectors are wired correctly.)
Removing Cables from the Connector
1. Press down on the operating lever to lock the lever before remov-
ing the cable.
2. After removing the cable from the Connector, always reset the
operating lever, except when rewiring the Connector. The Con-
nector can be rewired without resetting the operating lever.

Safety Precautions
General Precautions
Do not pull on the Connectors or cables. Doing so may cause dam-
age to the Connectors or cause the cables to disconnect.
Install the Connectors in a location where they will not be stepped
on, to prevent disconnection of the cables or damage to the Con-
nectors. If the Connectors have to be installed in such a location,
use a protective cover.
Make sure that the Connectors are mated in the correct direction.
Mating the Connectors incorrectly will damage to the Connectors.
Do not use the Connectors if the lock lever is bent or broken. Doing
so may cause the Connector to become loose or the device to mal-
function.
Before mounting Connectors to a PCB, make sure that the Connec-
tors are positioned in the correct direction.
Before bending a cable to connect it to a Connector, check the
bending specifications of the cable to be used.
Do not exceed the rated current of the cable. Always check the
rated current of each cable to be used.
Do not use pliers or other tools to remove the Connectors.
Hold the Connectors firmly by hand when handling them. Do not
use excessive force to push the Connectors. Forcing the Connec-
tors may result in injury.
These Connectors do not resist water. Do not use Connectors in
places where water or oil may be sprayed onto the Connectors.
Precautions for Correct Use
Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that exceed
product ratings.
Wiring
Insert one wire into each insertion hole. Inserting two or more wires
into a single hole may cause unexpected problems.
Make sure that no power is being supplied to a Connector before
wiring, inserting, or removing the Connector. Doing so may result in
electric shock.
Follow the wiring diagrams for the device being used when wiring
the cables.
Strip the cables according to the instructions in the applicable oper-
ation manual, making sure not to damage the wires.
Do not use a screwdriver with a tip larger than the specified width
when wiring the Connectors.
Make sure short-circuits are not created, e.g., by protruding wires.
Inserting and Removing Connectors
When connecting or disconnecting Connectors, always hold the
case of the Connector.
When mating Connectors, insert the Connector fully into the back
of the socket, and then make sure that the Connector will not
become loose by lightly pulling it in the opposite direction.
Recommended Screwdriver
Use a flat-blade screwdriver with a tip of 2 mm max. Do not use
screwdrivers that gradually widen towards the base of the screw-
driver.
Using other screwdrivers may cause damage to the adjacent poles.
