Connector handling requirements
3.1 Connector mating operation
Make sure to mate DF40 Series connectors by hands.
Mating procedures
1) Feel for the mating guide with hands to locate the connectors in the appropriate mating position.
2) When positioned, the connector is led into the mating pair by self alignment function.
3) Once aligned, the connector pair does not move back and forth and around as they are located in
a parallel position. Mate the connectors completely by applying force in this condition.
We recommend to push the connector with two fingers for 50 pins or more to press down the
whole connector evenly. One end might not be inserted enough to result in half mating for high pin
counts.
4) Make sure that the connectors are mated completely. When the PWBs are not parallel, unmate
the connector, and then mate them again according to the above procedures from the beginning.
