5.5 Connecting Guidelines
Use a dummy plug for not used pins of your used connector. The rated IP Code for the TC1 is only fulfilled,
if the TC1 is connected to a fully assembled connector. Consider the data and specifications required for IP
rating from the connector's manufacturer you are using.
Use STW's recommended type of connectors (see "Connector" on page 35).
Attach the cable harness of the TC1 <100mm (3.9'') from the connector with a strain relief.
Attach the strain relief of the cable harness at the same surface, where the TC1 is attached. If the cable
harness and the TC1 are attached to the same surface, the vibration level of both is the same. Different
vibration levels can cause damage to the connector and to the cable.
