In the Test Report Summary HT076, each connector tested is wired in series, as shown in the diagram and explained in section 3.2. This means the current passes through all contacts in each size connector tested, so the temperature rise will be for the whole connector. If you need any further assistance on this, please do contact one of our Experts.

You can find derate curves for the mated connectors in the Test Report HT076.

If you need to tighten your fixings to a torque setting for longer term installation, our recommendation is 22-25Ncm for both screw-locks and board/panel mount fixings. You can find this value stated in the Component Specification for Kona.

No tool is required for assembling the soldered contacts into the housing. We do supply an optional extraction tool if you need to remove a cable contact from the housing – see part ZA1-9040000.

Each housing is marked with a number 1 contact identifier in the plastic of the housing body. Once you find this, simply count along the row from that position.

It’s not necessary to use a tool unless you want to achieve the recommended torque of 22-25Ncm. The female connectors are fitted with thumbscrews that can be hand-tightened, but also have a hex socket feature in the end so that a 2mm A/F hex driver (or allen key) can be used.

The torque value for board or panel mounting and for mating screw-locks is 22-25cmN. This value is given in the Component Specification C052xx (page 3).
