APPLICATION SPECIFICATION
4.0 MATING AND UN-MATING OF CONNECTORS
This section describes the preferred methods for mating and un-mating the HandyLink™ connectors.
4.1 Recommendations for Mating and Un-Mating
This connector system utilizes a “passive” latching feature. There is no button to press to latch or unlatch. To latch, simply push the
plug into the receptacle (the connectors are polarized to discourage improper mating). To unlatch, simply grip the plug body firmly and
pull it straight out of the receptacle.
4.2 Mating Alignment Tolerances
4.2.a 44828 Receptacle to 45339 or 45593 Plug Connectors
The HandyLink™ plug and receptacle have been appropriately designed and toleranced to be mated and unmated by hand. The
connectors’ alignment features are manufactured with clearances to allow axial mating mis-alignment, as illustrated in the Figure 1,
below:
