PRINTED CIRCUIT ACCESSORIES

Convenient options that facilitate wire termination and increase wiring efficiency.
KEYING INSERTS
Use KI Keying Inserts to prevent misplugging of screw-cage clamp plugs in adjoining headers without loss of position. Incorrect plug installation can cause serious electrical damage to sensitive electronic circuits.
Type KI-AK Keying Insert is a precision molded profile that installs into parallel slots provided on the plug housing. Type KI-STL is a similar insert that installs into slots molded into the header housing.
When two of these inserts are located in corresponding slots on both the plug and header, the pair cannot be joined because the inserts interfere with one another. If the inserts are installed into separate slots on the plug and header, the pair will engage as usual.
Keying Inserts install quickly and easily and are held securely in place by a friction fit. You devise the pattern and select the quantity of inserts required for your application.
Packaged for convenient handling KI-AK and KI-STL Inserts are supplied on wheels of 6 inserts.
Factory keyed plugs and headers are available, please consult Altech with your keying requirements. Color: Red. Molding Material: Polyamide 6.6.

MARKING LABELS

Use KSO preprinted pressure sensitive labels for printed circuit board applications where changing requirements make it impractical to order and inventory hot stamp imprinted terminal blocks.
Preprinted labels are quick and easy to apply to all Fixed and Pluggable Printed Circuit Terminal Blocks. Simply cut to required length and peel strip from card.
Apply the strip to the terminal block by exerting finger pressure.
Marking cards contain 25 strips and are available in several standard number combinations. Select from consecutive ascending numbers 1 – 12, 13 – 24; consecutive descending numbers 12 – 1; and blank for hand marking. Custom Marking Labels with special character imprints are also available upon request. Imprint is black on white labels. Material: White PVC. HOT STAMP IMPRINTING
For high volume requirements or when it is impractical to apply PSA Marking Labels, use Hot Stamp Imprinting to provide positive circuit identification for Fixed and Pluggable Printed Circuit Terminal Blocks. Properly identified circuits increase wiring efficiency, save installation time and make wire hook-up, system modifications and trouble shooting quick and easy.
Hot Stamp Imprinting provides a permanent marking which will not rub, wear or wash off even when solvents are present.
Standard or custom imprint sequences are available for 2 to 24 pole positions. Imprints are centered above the wire entry.
Standard Imprint

• Character Style – DAVID
• Character Size: 8 Pt., 2.4mm (3/32 in.) high
• Standard Imprint Color: Black on Green Housing; White on Gray Housing
• Optional Imprint Color: White on Green Housing

Imprint Ordering
Standard Imprints can be specified and ordered by adding the required suffix after the Cat. No. and Type designation. Simply select the appropriate Ordering Suffix for the required Imprint Sequence. Hot Stamp Imprints up to 12 poles are standard for US (inch) and metric (mm) spacings. For pricing purposes, they are considered to be one assembly.
Imprints with 13-24 poles are considered to be (2) assemblies. For pricing purposes, they are considered to be two assemblies.
Consult Altech for Hot Stamp Imprinting pricing, minimum order quantities and applicable lot charges.
Custom Imprints
Special number sequences and character combinations including letters, symbols and numbers are available. To order special sequences or combinations send us your imprint schedule. For die charges and minimum order quantities for your custom imprints, please consult Altech.
