Correct Use
Grounding
To ground, create copper foil around the
Connector Attachment hole on the board,
assemble the Connector and Grounding
Fixtures, and dip in solder as shown below.
Tap Hole Grounding Fixtures
Insert the Connector into the PCB, tighten
the screws, and then dip-solder the Con-
nector terminals to the board.
Lock Pin Grounding Fixtures
Insert the connector into the PCB and then
simultaneously dip-solder the Connector
terminals and lock pin to the board.
Attaching the Dust Cover
•To attach the cord to the Connector, use
Anchor 1 and secure it as shown below.
•To attach the cord to a panel, drill an M3
hole in the panel and secure the cord to it
with an M3 screw. If the cord is not
required, cut it off. Use commercially
available M3 screw.
Tightening Clamp Screws
Use the following torques when tightening
cable clamp to hoods.
Terminal Screw Tightening Torque
(N·m)
Mating
Do not connect the Connectors in the wrong
direction, otherwise it may be damaged.
Shielded Cable Preparation
Refer to the following diagram when solder-
ing shielded cable to the Connector when
using a Hood.
1. Fold the unravelled braided shield back
over the cable bushing.
2. Wrap tape around the folded shield.
Tightening Torque of
Anchor and Grounding
Fixture
If the anchor is secured to the Connector or
the grounding fixture is secured with a
screw, be sure to tighten it to a torque of
0.49 N·m. Use a suitable size of tool.
Shield Effects
•When connecting the braided cable shield
to a Connector Hood, use the cable
clamp to clamp all the braids at once
through the shielded tape.
•Mate the lock screw washer and spring
washer outside the Connector when
assembling the Hood.
•Keep the shell flange of the Connector as
far away from the metal panel as possible
to maximize the shield effect with a Con-
nector mounted to the panel.
•The ground wire for the Connector will fall
into the shell (external metal covering)
with Solder-cup Terminals, so connect the
ground wire to the panel or to ground on
the board.
XM3A/XM3D Connector
Insertion and Removal
•Grasp the Connector or the Hood Cover
when inserting and removing the Connec-
tor. Never try to remove the Connector by
pulling the cable.
