Precautions

Aug.1.2024 Copyright 2024 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.

• M4 screw is used to assemble the receptacle with the housing.
• The recommended amount of torque used to tighten the screws should be 1. 2 to 2. 1 N· m.
• The recommended fastening torque of the screw attached the power female contact on the receptacle side is
2. 5 to 5. 2 N· m.
Please use standard tools including torque wrench etc. ( JIS B 4652) for screw- fastening.
In addition, please use standard tools ( JIS C 9711) for crimping the power male contact on the PS3CS plug side.
• Power contacts are silver plated and may react with the sulfide in the atmosphere. This might cause the color to change
to a dark brown.
• The power contacts do not support hot plugging, and cannot be used to shut off the power.
• As PS3C series and PS3CS series do not mate with each other, please use them only with the products of the sameseries.

Safety Standards Certifications (UL, C-UL, TÜV) (PS3C only)
The PS3C, PS3CS series has received safety certifications from the UL, C- UL, and TÜ V under the conditions provided
in Table 1 and Table 2.
Please refer to Tables 1 and 2, as there are various conditions for safety standard depending on the application contentof rated voltage and rated current.
