2.6. Manuals
Manual 402--40 can be used as a guide to soldering. This manual provides information on various flux types
and characteristics with the commercial designation and flux removal procedures. A checklist is included in the
manual as a guide for information on soldering problems.
2.7. Standards and Publications
Standards and publications developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) provide industry
test and performance requirements. Documents available which pertain to this product are:
IEC 60529, “Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code)”
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Special Assembly Considerations
The following information must be considered when designing the system into which these connectors are
installed:
These connectors are interchangeable with mini--universal MATE--N--LOK connectors; however,
applications using any unsealed product (connector, contact, or keying plug) will not perform as a sealed
assembly
The pin headers described in this document do not have drain holes. Pin headers with drain holes
MUST NOT be used in sealed applications
3.2. Safety
Do not stack product shipping containers so high that the containers buckle or deform.
3.3. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the connector
material.
B. Shelf Life
The connectors should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to
components. The connectors should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination
that could adversely affect performance.
The seals must be stored in sealed plastic bags to prevent seals from drying and cracking.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store connectors near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in
the components.
Alkalies Ammonia Citrates Phosphates Citrates Sulfur Compounds
Amines Carbonates Nitrites Sulfur Nitrites Tartrates
