HANDLING
Care must be taken to avoid damage to any
component parts of electrical connectors
during installation and use. Although there
are normally no sharp edges, care must be
taken when handling certain components to
avoid injury to fingers.
Electrical connectors may be damaged in
transit to the customers, and damage may
result in creation of hazards. Products should
therefore be examined prior to installation/
use and rejected if found to be damaged.
DISPOSALDISPOSAL

DISPOSAL
Incineration of certain materials may release
noxious or even toxic fumes.
APPLICATIONAPPLICATION
APPLICATIONAPPLICATION
APPLICATION
Connectors with exposed contacts should
not be selected for use on the current supply
side of an electrical circuit, because an electric
shock could result from touching exposed
contacts on an unmated connector.
Voltages in excess of 30 V ac. or 42.5 V dc
are potentially hazardous and care should be
taken to ensure that such voltages cannot be
transmitted in any way to exposed metal
parts of the connector body. The connector
and wiring should be checked, before making
live, to have no damage to metal parts or
insulators, no solder blobs, loose strands,
conducting lubricants, swarf, or any other
undesired conducting particles. Circuit
resistance and continuity check should be
made to make certain that there are no high
resistance joints or spurious conducting paths.
Always use the correct application tools as
specified in the Data Sheet/Catalog.
Do not permit untrained personnel to wire,
assemble or tamper with connectors. For
operation voltage please see appropriate
national regulations.

Electrical connectors do not usually contain
hazardous materials. They contain
conducting and non-conducting materials and
can be divided into two groups.

types with metal casings and either natural
rubber, synthetic rubber, plastic or glass
insulating materials. Contact materials vary
with type of connector and also application
and are usually manufactured from either:
Copper, copper alloys, nickel, alumel, chromel
or steel. In special applications, other alloys
may be specified.

Heat dissipation is greater at maximum
resistance in a circuit. Hot spots may occur
when resistance is raised locally by damage,
e.g. cracked or deformed contacts, broken
strands of wire. Local overheating may also
result from the use of the incorrect application
tools or from poor quality soldering or slack
screw terminals. Overheating may occur if
the ratings in the product Data Sheet/Catalog
are exceeded and can cause breakdown of
insulation and hence electric shock.
If heating is allowed to continue it intensifies
by further increasing the local resistance
through loss of temper of spring contacts,
formation of oxide film on contacts and wires
and leakage currents through carbonisation
of insulation and tracking paths. Fire can
then result in the presence of combustible
materials and this may release noxious fumes.
Overheating may not be visually apparent.
Burns may result from touching overheated
components.
