Package and Handling
Information
The compact Versatile Link pack-
age is made of a flame retardant
VALOX
®
UL 94 V-0 material
(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
