MOLEX CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
The IC-A210/A210E mates with a Molex connector in the
rack mount. Assemble the Molex connector as follows.
D D Contact terminal assembly
"
q Strip 4 mm
(0.16 ) from each wire for the contact terminal.
w Open the HTR-6115 Molex hand crimper with the en-
graved side toward you.
e Insert the stripped conductor unit the insulation is even
with the side of the crimper facing you.
r Clip the conductor tab until a crimp is obtained.
t Move the lead to the crimper anvil.
y Place the insulating tab section on the crimper anvil.
u Crimp again until a sufficient crimp is obtained.
D D Polarizing key
Before installing the Molex connector into the mounting
bracket, check the polarizing key position between contacts 8
and 9. Refer to Connector front view in m CONNECTOR IN-
FORMATION.
.
OPERATION CHECK
Check the following points after transceiver installation.
- Polarity of the power supply.
- NO interference caused to other equipment.
- NO noise or interference from other equipment.

MARKING MOUNTING HOLES
D D Notes for making the mounting hole
The IC-A210/A210E can be mounted securely in the supplied
mounting bracket.
Remember to allow adequate space for installation of cables
and connectors.
When installing 2 or more transceivers in a stack, the mount-
"
ing trays should be 1.27 mm (0.05 ) apart.

D D Contact insertion
Insert the contact terminals into the proper location in the
connector housing. Push the terminal until a click is heard.
D D Contact extraction
Use the Molex contact ejector tool.
q Slip the flat narrow blade of the contact ejector tool under
the contact on the mating side of the connector.
w Turn the connector upside down to slide the blade into the
stop.
e When the blade is fully in, pull the lead using moderate
force.

top, bottom, and both sides for proper spacing.
Mark and cut the mounting holes.
To support the mounting bracket, the rear mounting bosses
