ORDERING CODE NOTES (Continued)
2) For contact installation, removal and crimping tools, refer to
page 96.
3) Grey polycarbonate insulator material is not available for the
120 pin size connector.
4) The 20 pin connector cover will not accept the length of the
wire wrap contacts.
5) Plastic covers with large clamps are only available for the 38
and 56 pin size connectors.
6) Metal covers with side entry may be converted to top entry by
removing side plate and changing clamp orientation.
7) Covers may be ordered separately. Refer to page 93.
8) Insulator design prevents improper mating of individual plug
and receptacle. Polarizing hardware enables specific plug
and receptacle mating combinations.
