Note: The disposable receptacle housing is
threaded and may be panel-mounted on a
disposable hand piece or electronic acces-
sory. Mounting hardware is described on
page 3 of this data sheet. A panel-mount
receptacle from Alden’s PL-700SM-N
Series may be preferable for reusable appli-
cations. A typical reusable interconnect
system with integrated PL-700RG & SM
components is illustrated in Panel 3 on
page 2 of this data sheet. Contact an
Alden sales engineer for further details.
