Note: A ground tag is standard on all AC
“Z” series connectors. Although the ground
tag is intended for RFI shielding applications,
Amphenol cannot guarantee its effectiveness
in all cases.
The non-conductive Black polyester finish
insulates the ground tag from the shell and
should not be used in applications requiring
ground contact to the shell.
