Threaded metric M2 screws and spacers (supplied with Acromag IP modules) provide additional stability for harsh environments (see Drawing 4501-801 for assembly details). Pin assignments for these connectors are made by the specific IP model used and correspond identically to the pin numbers of the transition module panel connectors.
