Mounting connectors
Mount the connectors in the procedure shown below. If the connector is not fixed securely, it may come off or may not produce
a splash-proof effect during operation. The receptacle connector has a splash-proof seal (O-ring). When mounting, use care
to prevent the seal from dropping and being pinched.
Unlocking jigs can also be used to release the plug connector lever. For the unlocking jigs, contact Hirose Electric co., ltd.

Insertion
The insertion direction of the plug connector varies depending on the cable direction which is the load side, opposite to load
side, and vertical. Check the insertion direction of the plug connector and the mating part before inserting the plug connector.
Insert the plug connector (cable side) into the receptacle connector (motor side). The plug connector will stop in the midway of
the insertion hole if inserted in an incorrect direction. Continuing to insert the plug connector forcefully even after the stop may
damage the plug connector and the receptacle connector.
