The 3442-39N platen has three blade-like protrusions on the surface of the platen. These blades must fit inside the metal shell of the connector and the connector pins must fit in the grooves between the blades when the platen engages the connector. Make sure that there is good alignment between the connector and the platen to assure that the shell or pins of the connector are not damaged during termination. 3M is a trademark of 3M.
