Accessories - XG4 / XG5 / XG8
■External Polarization Options
The following optional accessories can be used to provide polarization to sockets and plugs that do not have molded polarizing guides and slots
built into their housings and shrouds.
Solutions for Shrouded Connectors
XG4Z-0004 Polarizing Key
Typically, 10 contact versions of the XG4A, XG4E and XG4C are
available with or without polarizing guides.
Install the XG4Z-0004 polarizing key on XG4A pcb sockets, XG4E
plugs and XG4C pcb sockets that do not have a polarizing slot, to
prevent reverse connection with XG4M cable sockets that do not
have a polarizing guide.
For all other versions, the molded polarity guides and slots can be
used by themselves to help prevent reverse insertion. However, use
the polarizing key with these versions as well for best results.
Note: Each XG4Z-0004 has 4 Polarizing Keys.
Solutions for Unshrouded Connectors
Use the XG4Z-0005 coding pin to fill a specific hole in one of the
XG4 or XG5 sockets. Then, use the XY2E-0002 cutting pin to remove
the corresponding terminal from an XG8 unshrouded plug.
(See XG5 and XG8 datasheets for details about those connectors.)
XG4Z-0005 Coding Pin
Note: 1. A contact with a Coding Pin inserted cannot be used.
2. Each XG4Z-0005 has 4 Polarizing Keys.
XY2E-0002 Contact Cutting Driver
The Contact Cutting Driver is used to cut (twist off) a contact on the
mating Plug when using an XG4Z-0005 Coding Pin.
