About safety Remarks
1) Do not use these connectors beyond the specification sheets.
The usage outside of specified rated current, dielectric strength,
and environmental conditions and so on may cause circuitry
damage via abnormal heating, smoke, and fire.
2) In order to avoid accidents, your thorough specification review
is appreciated.
Please contact us if your usage is out of the specifications.
Otherwise, Panasonic Corporation cannot guarantee the quality
and reliability.
3) Panasonic Corporation is consistently striving to improve
quality and reliability.
However, the fact remains that electrical components and
devices generally cause failures at a given statistical probability.
Furthermore, their durability varies with use environments or use
conditions. In this respect, please check for actual electrical
components and devices under actual conditions before use.
Continued usage in a state of degraded condition may cause the
deteriorated insulation, thus result in abnormal heat, smoke or
firing. Please carry out safety design and periodic maintenance
including redundancy design, design for fire spread prevention,
and design for malfunction prevention so that no accidents
resulting in injury or death, fire accidents, or social damage will
be caused as a result of failure of the products or ending life of
the products.

Cautions when using the product
Please use the product in accordance with the conditions
described in these specifications.
The product quality cannot be warranted if the product fails
because it is used outside the conditions in these specifications.
1) Cautions about the operating and storage environments
• Product failure due to condensation cannot be warranted.
• Use caution for avoiding dust.
• The following environment may deteriorate the product’s
appearance and affect the product characteristics, and should
thus be avoided.
• An environment in which the possible adherence of
chemicals such as acid and alkali exists.
• In a gaseous atmosphere of salt, sulfide, etc.
2) This product has a structure requiring an insertion force for
mating, but the mating may come off when an external force is
applied to the plug, impact is applied by dropping, or vibration is
applied in equipment. Sufficient caution should be used with the
equipment to avoid such incidents.
3) The product cannot be used in a movable parts while the
optical fiber is bent. Such use may cause deformation of the
receptacle or breakage of the optical fiber.
4) In order to avoid a load on the plug and receptacle applied by
the tensile force of the optical fiber, a redundant design is
required with respect to the optical fiber length.
5) Use caution for wiring the optical fiber to avoid getting
entangled or twisting. Also, use adhesive tape for securing the
optical fiber for preventing excessive stress caused by vibration
and impact.
6) Insertion and removal operations must be performed while the
power is off.
Insertion or removal operations in a live condition (with current
and voltage) may lead to a breakage.
7) Use caution with regard to the generation and handling of
static electricity in the operating environment to protect the plug.
8) Secure sufficient insulation distance between the external
metal enclosure of the plug and the peripheral components. The
plug enclosure, which is connected to the ground, may give rise
to danger from a short-circuit.
9) Mating of plug
• Mating direction
Mating of the plug and receptacle requires orientation. Align
the receptacle shape in the direction of the optical fiber of
plug.
• Mated condition
Make sure the plug is securely inserted into the receptacle.
After mating, a gap remains between the PC board and plug.
Avoid applying excessive pressure.
10) Plug removal
For the removal operation, hold both sides of the metal
enclosure and lift the plug upward.
* Do not pull the optical fiber and bushing.
11) Plug insertion
Because this product has been designed with a thin mating
structure between the plug and receptacle for compact-sizing
purposes, excessive tilting during insertion or removal leads to
product fracture and separation of the solder section of
terminals.
For avoiding breakage of the mating parts, confirm the alignment
before mating.
12) When the product is used in a different environment and in
accordance with a method other than described in this
document, please consult us.
