Select wire gauge, current and voltage ratings in line with the connector specification and system safety requirements.
Ensure correct alignment with the mating header and apply uniform press force during IDC termination to avoid incomplete piercing or contact deformation.
Avoid exceeding the recommended operating temperature range or using the connector in environments with aggressive chemicals without prior validation.
Periodically inspect high-vibration or high-cycle installations to confirm that contacts and housings remain secure and free of corrosion or mechanical damage.
