insulator can now be removed and repositioned or replaced as required.

4.2 Alignment Pin

4.2.1

For  high  density,  symmetrical  contact  arrangements,  where  very  few  contacts  are
being  used,  additional  devices  may  be  necessary  to  completely  remove  the
possibility  of  cross  mating  like  connectors.  These  devices  take  the  form  of  pins,
which  occupy  key  contact  positions  in  the  insulator  depending  on  the  size  and
complexity of the arrangement.

4.2.2

Note. The additional polarising device is inserted into the pin insulator only.

4.2.3

It is recommended that at least two of these pins be installed per connector. These
alignment pins should not be removed once installed.

Example of two 40-A35 Contact arrangements with X and Y orientations mated together. 25
out of the 35 available contacts can misalign.
