Pre-centering For applications with early mate/late break contacts the male connector insulators with pre-centering ensure even more reliable mating. The insulators of the female connectors have a recess at the appropriate point. The dimensions of these versions do not conform to the specifications of DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2. The ordering details are not listed in this data sheet but they can be supplied on request. Male connectors with pre-centering do not mate with female connectors without a pre-centering recess. Various coding systems are available for the connectors contained in this data...

for DIN 41612/IEC 60603-2 male and female connectors Tow different clearance and creepage distances are always distinguished for connectors: 1. The distances a and b are the shortest clearance and creepage distance between assembly rail (chassis) and the closest terminal post. 2. The distances c and d are the shortest clearance and creepage distance between 2 adjacent terminal posts in unwrapped state. All the values apply to the connectors prior to their termination to the printed circuit board. The influence of the wiring on the clearance creepage distance and must be taken into account. Minimum...
