APPLICATION SPECIFICATION
6.4 Design Best Practices
The information provided so far in this document has been related to the basic usage conditions of the HandyLink™ connectors. The
sections that follow contain important information and guidelines for design that apply to specific applications or industrial design
constraints for the end-product accessories. In all cases, Molex advises that prototype assemblies be used as early in the design and
development cycle as possible to simulate and assess true usage conditions in the actual end-products.
Please contact Molex for technical assistance with design feasibility studies or design reviews.
6.4.0 Mating Over-Travel Clearance
The HandyLink connectors are designed such that the corresponding ‘front’ faces fully engage and then spring back 0.20mm to the
final mated condition. This ‘over-travel clearance’ assures that the components of the passive latching system engage, as illustrated in
Figure 11. This clearance must be accommodated in all device and accessory designs top assure proper function.
