Product safety notice
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND CONSULT ALL RELEVENT NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR YOUR APPLICATION.
IMPROPER HANDLING, CABLE ASSEMBLY, OR WRONG USE OF CONNECTORS CAN RESULT IN HAZARDOUS
SITUATIONS.
1. SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Incorrect wiring, the use of damaged components, presence of foreign objects (such as metal debris), and / or residue
(such as cleaning fluids), can result in short circuits, overheating, and / or risk of electric shock.
Mated components should never be disconnected while live as this may result in an exposed electric arc and local
overheating, resulting in possible damage to components.
2. HANDLING
Connectors and their components should be visually inspected for damage prior to installation and assembly. Suspect
components should be rejected or returned to the factory for verification.
Connector assembly and installation should only be carried out by properly trained personnel. Proper tools must be used
during installation and / or assembly in order to obtain safe and reliable performance.
3. USE
Connectors with exposed contacts should never be live (or on the current supply side of a circuit). Under general
conditions voltages above 30 VAC and 42 VDC are considered hazardous and proper measures should be taken to
eliminate all risk of transmission of such voltages to any exposed metal part of the connector.
4. TEST AND OPERATING VOLTAGES
The maximum admissible operating voltage depends upon the national or international standards in force for the
application in question. Air and creepage distances impact the operating voltage; reference values are indicated in the
catalog however these may be influenced by PC board design and / or wiring harnesses.
The test voltage indicated in the catalog is 75% of the mean breakdown voltage; the test is applied at 500 V/s and the
test duration is 1 minute.
5. CE MARKING
CE marking
means that the appliance or equipment bearing it complies with the protection requirements of one or
several European safety directives.
CE marking
applies to complete products or equipment, but not to electromechanical components, such as
connectors.
6. PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS
The LEMO Group reserves the right to modify and improve to our products or specifications without providing prior
notification.
