Mating compatibility
Use only with matching 7-pin plug or header designed for the same pitch and keying to avoid bent terminals or intermittent contact. -
Current and voltage limits
Do not exceed the specified current per pin or overall temperature rise; parallel multiple pins for higher current if required in the design. -
Soldering recommendations
Follow recommended reflow or wave solder profiles for high-temperature thermoplastic housings. Avoid excessive peak temperatures or dwell time to prevent housing deformation or terminal loosening. -
Mechanical handling
Insert and withdraw the mating connector in a straight line; avoid twisting or side-loading forces on the housing. Ensure proper PCB support to reduce stress on solder joints. -
Environmental conditions
Operate within the specified temperature and humidity range; for applications with condensation, vibration or dust, consider conformal coating or additional sealing measures. -
Quality and reliability
Periodically verify contact resistance and insulation resistance in long-life equipment or safety-critical systems, especially where frequent mating cycles or harsh environments are expected.
