OPS Series Connectors
The following explains how to clean Ferrules using a Tajimi OPS series camera cable plug (female) as an example.
1
Loosen the screw at the center of the connector with a
flat-blade screwdriver or a coin.
After turned 9 or 10 turns counterclockwise, the screw will
come out. The screw is not removed because it is attached to
the top.
2
Pull the screw and remove the top from the connector.
3
Wipe the Ferrule with a cotton swab dampened with
alcohol.
CAUTION:
- When you wipe the Ferrule, move the cotton swab straight
in a way in which you brush the dust off the Ferrule. Do not
wipe back and forth or in a circle. Doing so may spread the
dirt instead of removing it.
- Do not carelessly blow your breath on the Ferrule.
4
After wiping the Ferrule with alcohol, wipe the Ferrule with a dry cotton swab.
5
Make sure that the dirt is removed.
Use a loupe to examine the Ferrule.
6
If the Ferrule is free from dirt, align the top with the connector guide and put it back in the connector.
Be sure to push the top securely into the connector.
7
Tighten the screw with a flat-blade screwdriver or a coin.
Male connectors have no "top"; therefore, steps 1, 2, and 6 above are not required.
① Turn the screw
