The sleeve or mounting contact inserts are snapped
into the correct frames and are then simple to
assemble and mount. The modules are easy to unsnap
with a screwdriver.
All contact inserts can be equipped with coding
profiles. This rules out the possibility of mixing up
several plug connectors.
The modules can be individually labeled using the
corresponding marker cards SK...
