    Revision 3.10 Section 9 Inspection The Hirose IT3/IT5 receptacles’ 6mm or 7mm heights allow for high-resolution, low-noise x-ray imaging. Whether a mounting or mating receptacle, and regardless of the stacking height of the final assembly, the images remain consistent. No special modifications to the image analysis routine to compensate for different connector heights are needed.
