Package and Handling

Information

The compact Versatile Link pack-

age is made of a flame retardant

(UL file # E121562) and uses the

same pad layout as a standard,

eight pin dual-in-line package.

Vertical and horizontal mountable

parts are available. These low

profile Versatile Link packages

are stackable and are enclosed to

provide a dust resistant seal.

Snap action simplex, simplex

latching, duplex, and duplex

latching connectors are offered

with simplex or duplex cables.

Package Orientation

Performance and pinouts for the

vertical and horizontal packages

are identical. To provide addi-

tional attachment support for the

vertical Versatile Link housing,

the designer has the option of

using a self-tapping screw

through a printed circuit board

into a mounting hole at the

bottom of the package. For most

applications this is not necessary.

Package Housing Color

Versatile Link components and

simplex connectors are color

coded to eliminate confusion
