To assemble the connectors:
•
Use the tabs to carefully align buss cable con-
nectors.
•
Look at the tabs to ensure connector alignment
prior to making the connection. Do not rotate
connectors until they align. This could result in a
mismatched connection. It is possible for each
pin to enter a socket even if the tabs are mis-
aligned.
•
Carefully align pins and sockets of connectors.
Do NOT force connectors together.
