How to calculate Over All Length (OAL) of a Scorpion connector:
Overall Length (OAL) of a connector is the sum of all the modules length. Refer to example
below for OAL calculation. See page 7 and 8 for individual module dimensions.
KEYING MODULES
The keying module is designed to
offer maximum 8 keying positions.
