B. Strain Relief
If required, the wires can be bundled together with cable ties and secured to a panel with fixed clamps.
The wires must not be confined in any way that would restrict floating action of the contact in the housing.
1. Cable T ies
The minimum distance for the cable tie, measured from the back of the housing to the first cable tie, is
shown in Figure 10.
2. Fixed Clamps
The minimum distance for the fixed clamp is measured from the top of the post to the first fixed clamp.
There must be slack in perpendicular wire bundles when the housing is fully installed. Refer to
Figure 10.

C. Stacking
Right end open and left end open housing configurations can be placed end--to--end on the pc board and
maintain the required 2.54 mm [.100 in.] distance between the contact cavity centers. Right end open (with
a key) are used to stack housings to the left and left end open (with a keyway) are used to stack housings
to the right. Both ends closed housing configurations are not designed for stacking. Refer to Figure 11.
Single--row housings cannot be stacked with double--row housings. In order to stack housings, keys must be aligned
with keyways.
