2) Position of connectors during mounting 

When using a multiple-pin connector, it is preferable that the connector be placed 
in a position that does not require  swing motion of the mounter during pickup and 
mounting. The inertial force of the swing motion of  mounter often displaces the 
connectors so that connector arrangement without swing operation is required.
