Recommended Mounting Holes/Mounting and Dismounting Method
• Attachable plate thickness is 0.8 to 1.6 mm
• Open mounting holes with dimensions as indicated in the mounting
hole drawing.
• Insertion force is approx. 3 to 5 kg. Do not insert all at once.
Mounting can be accomplished easily by first inserting partially in
two mounting holes and then applying force.
• Removal is possible from either the top side or bottom side
(examples of both are shown).
<From top side>
• Press the removal hook with a flat-blade screwdriver and pry up.
<From bottom side>
• Attach as shown below, and push up while squeezing the tab with
your fingers.
• The optimum way of opening mounting holes is by press punching.
When mounting on the burr side of the punched mounting plate, or
when mounting on a mounting plate with holes cut by wire cutting,
a stronger insertion force is necessary, and insertion may be
difficult in some cases (an insertion force of 5 to 6 kg may be
necessary).
• If there are large burrs on the punched mounting plate, the locking
mechanism may not engage completely. Press the mounting tabs
with your finger as shown below to verify that the lock is completely
engaged.
