Plastic Circular Connector, RP13 Series
Caution
Product Description
Small, single-action, circular push-pull lock connectors that are both lightweight and strong.
[Features]
· When inserting, just push in the plug to complete mating.
· When detaching, pull the sleeve to release the lock.
· The mating position markings on the plug facilitate position mating.
· Blind mating is possible using the unique mating guide keys.
· The exterior is made from resilient PC resin, making it both lightweight and tough.
· In the case of anti-static types, the plug is connected to the housing through the receptacle, helping protect the equipment against the effects of static electricity.

Product Termination Procedure
(Plug)
Work Procedure
- 1. Pass the terminated cable through the cord tube in the following order: spring, connection sleeve, and cord bushing, and then crimp and terminate the contacts.
- 2. Assemble the crimped and terminated contacts to the contact holes of the P-insulation P-case. Make sure that the crimped contacts are securely engaged onto the contact holes of the P-insulation P-case by lightly pulling the cable.
- 3. Attach the metal fitting by clamping to it the cord bushing and assemble these into the P-insulation P-case. Then crimp the metal fitting by clamping it with the applicable tool.
- 4. Attach in the following order to the P-insulation P-case: connection sleeve, spring, and cord tube. Then align the screw hole on the cord tube and that of the metal fitting for clamping, and tighten the round countersunk screw to the specified torque of 0.2 N·m (2 kg-cm.)
- 5. After the assembly procedure described above has been completed, test the parts to make sure that the connection sleeve moves correctly.
