Assembly instructions
Can be used with most the USB3.0 cordset brands : No tools required!
Plug assembly
1. Insert the USB3 cordset into the metallic backshell
2. Insert the retention spacer laterally to the cable (this spacer is soft,
in order to adapt to different shapes of overmolding) and slide the
overmolding of the USB3-A plug into this retention spacer
3. Insert the friction ring laterally to the cable
4. Choose the right coding (2 positions) and insert the USB-A plug into
the protective plug.Note at this step, the main key is used for polar-
ization through the blue seal.
7. Screw the backshell on the plug body. A wrench can be necessary to
fully tighten it, and the connection to the receptacle can help

In some applications, a transversal hermiticity for the receptacle is a « must ».
This will prevent gas from going through the receptacle when plug or cap are
not mated to the receptacle.
The hermetic solution (version "H") has a compound at the rear of the receptacle.
Helium leakage is less than 1.10-6 cm3 per second [0.1 micron cubit ft per hour]
at one bar [15 psi] pressure differential.
Main characteristics
Same as the USB3F TV (see page 76)... a complete IP68 sealing of the receptacle
is added (even with no plug or no protective cap mated).
Outside dimensions are the same as the standard USB3F TV (USB-A).
Vibrations : the compounded version of the USBF TV has been tested in vibration
following the NAS 1599 aeronautic specification (ambient temperature):
5 - 3000 Hz, 20g, 2.5 mm [.1 inch] double amplitude, 3 axes, 12 hours
Note: this specification exceeds MIL-C-26500 requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Due to the compound, the coding of the connector must be done in the factory: use the codes A or B in the part number.
