3. HANDLING
(iii) Other important information
Care must be taken to avoid damage
to any component parts of electrical con-
nectors during installation and use.
Although there are normally no sharp
edges, care must be taken when handling
certain components to avoid injury to fin-
gers. Electrical connectors may be dam-
aged in transit to the customers, and
damage may result in creation of hazards.
Products should therefore be examined
prior to installation/use and rejected if
found to be damaged.
Cannon continuously endeavors to
improve their products. Therefore,
Cannon products may deviate from the
description, technical data and shape as
shown in this catalog and data sheets.
1. MATERIAL CONTENT AND PHYSICAL
FORM
“Engineered for life” is a registered trade-
mark of ITT Industries, ©2006. All other
trademarks or registered trademarks are
property of their respective owners. All
data subject to change without notice.
Electrical connectors do not usually con-
tain hazardous materials. They contain
conducting and non-conducting materi-
als and can be divided into two groups.
a) Printed circuit types and low cost audio
types which employ all plastic insulators
and casings.
b) Rugged, Fire Barrier and High
Reliability types with metal casings and
either natural rubber, synthetic rubber,
plastic or glass insulating materials.
Contact materials vary with type of con-
nector and also application and are usual-
ly manufactured from either: Copper, cop-
per alloys, nickel, alumel, chromel or
steel. In special applications, other alloys
may be specified.

4. DISPOSAL
Incineration of certain materials may
release noxious or even toxic fumes.
ITT Cannon, a Division of ITT Industries,

tions in this publication. Any use or appli-
cation that deviates from the stated oper-
ating specifications is not recommended

5. APPLICATION
Connectors with exposed contacts
should not be selected for use on the cur-
rent supply side of an electrical circuit,
because an electric shock could result
from touching exposed contacts on an
unmated connector. Voltages in excess of
30 V ac or 42.5 V dc are potentially haz-
ardous and care should be taken to
ensure that such voltages cannot be
transmitted in any way to exposed metal
parts of the connector body. The connec-
tor and wiring should be checked, before
making live, to have no damage to metal
parts or insulators, no solder blobs, loose
strands, conducting lubricants, swarf, or
any other undesired conducting particles.
Circuit resistance and continuity check
should be made to make certain that there
are no high resistance joints or spurious
conducting paths. Always use the correct
application tools as specified in the Data
Sheet/Catalog. Do not permit untrained
personnel to wire, assemble or tamper
with connectors. For operation voltage
please see appropriate national regula-
tions.
2. FIRE CHARACTERISTICS AND ELEC-
TRIC SHOCK HAZARD
There is no fire hazard when the connec-
tor is correctly wired and used within the
specified parameters. Incorrect wiring or
assembly of the connector or careless
use of metal tools or conductive fluids, or
transit damage to any of the component
parts may cause electric shock or burns.
Live circuits must not be broken by sepa-
rating mated connectors as this may
cause arcing, ionization and burning.
Heat dissipation is greater at maximum
resistance in a circuit. Hot spots may
occur when resistance is raised locally by
damage, e.g. cracked or deformed con-
tacts, broken strands of wire. Local over-
heating may also result from the use of
the incorrect application tools or from
poor quality soldering or slack screw ter-
minals. Overheating may occur if the rat-
ings in the product Data Sheet/Catalog
are exceeded and can cause breakdown
of insulation and hence electric shock. If
heating is allowed to continue it intensi-
fies by further increasing the local resist-
ance through loss of temper of spring
contacts, formation of oxide film on con-
tacts and wires and leakage currents
through carbonization of insulation and
tracking paths. Fire can then result in the
presence of combustible materials and
this may release noxious fumes.
IMPORTANT GENERAL INFORMATION
(i) Air and creepage paths/Operating volt-
age. The admissible operating voltages
depend on the individual applications and
the valid national and other applicable
safety regulations.
For this reason the air and creepage path
data are only reference values. Observe
reduction of air and creepage paths due
to PC board and/or harnessing.
