Coding system
without contact loss
To avoid accidental and incorrect mating of adjacent connectors a coding system
is required. The coding is achieved by means of a code pin which is inserted into
the selected chamber of the female connector (the contact cavity must be filled
with a female contact!).
The opposite male contact must be removed with the help of the specially
designed tool.
It’s recommended to use a number of code pins in relation to the total number of
contacts per connector: 3 pins for 64 contacts, 7 pins for 160 contacts.
