Safety Precautions
S Do not pull on the connector or the cable. The connector
may be damaged or the cable conductors may be broken.
S To prevent connector damage and broken cable
conductors, install the cable and connector in locations
where they will not be stepped on, entangled in people’s
legs, or otherwise subjected to excessive strain. If
installation in such locations cannot be avoided, install
protective covers to protect the connector and cable.
S Do not mate the connector in the wrong direction. The
connector may be damaged.
S Do not use the connector if the lock lever is broken. The
connector may become disconnected, possibly causing
machine malfunction.
S When installing the cable, do not bend it past the
specifications given for the cable.
S Do not apply a current exceeding the rated current.
S Do not use pliers or similar tools to remove the connector.
S Hold the connector firmly when working on it, but do not
apply excessive force to it.
S Once a connector has been assembled do not take it apart
and reuse it. If the assembly is not successful, use a new
connector to redo the operation.
S This connector is not water-proof. Do not allow it to be
subjected to water or oil during operation.
Precautions for Correct Use
S Wiring Work
S
Do not perform wiring work or connect/disconnect the
connector while the power supply is ON. Electrical
shock or machine malfunction may result.
S Wiring the cable according to the wiring diagram for the
machine being used.
S Confirm that there are no short-circuits caused by wires
sticking out of the connector.
S Connecting the Connector
S
Always hold onto the body of the connector when
connecting/disconnecting the connector.
S Be sure the connector is connected completely to the
back and then pull in the reverse direction to be sure the
connector will not disconnect.
S Confirm that the cable labels and cable colors match
before connecting the cable.

Wiring Procedure
1. Cutting the Cable
S
Cut expansion cables perpendicular to the length of the
cable.
S To prevent short-circuits, cut the cable with a sharp
instrument and be sure there are no whiskers on the
conductors.
2. Assembling the Cable Stopper (for expansion)
S
Align the cover and catch the hooks and then press the
cable stopper until it clicks into place and stays in place.
3. Connecting the Cable
S
Align the cable labels and cable colors and place the cable
in the connector.
S Sandwich the cable in the cover and catch the hooks to
secure the cable.
Note: For expansion connectors, close the cover first and
then insert the cable into the cover and position the cable to
the end is in contact with the cable stopper.
