6.1.1

Receptacle Connector

Molex recommends that the receptacle connector be mounted within the end-application enclosure such that it is recessed by 1.6 to

2.4mm from the outermost faces and with a 0.10mm maximum clearance with the casing inner walls. Such a recess provides multiple

advantages in terms of protecting the contact surfaces from accidental impact with foreign objects, providing mechanical support when

the mating plug connector assembly is torqued by abusive handling, and helps to reduce direct contact with hand oils or other

contamination. See Figures 3A and 3B, below, for recommendations on recess dimensions.
