(3) Do not disassemble the connector case.
It may cause a failure.
(4) Tighten the fixing screws and cover fixing screws within the
following ranges.
(5) When the Q6TA32 is installed to the I/O module, it is 9 mm (0.35
inch) out of the I/O module bottom. (Refer to "6. OUTLINE
DRAWING".)
Pay attention to the installation position.
(6) The Q6TA32 cannot be used with any model that is not mentioned
as the applicable model in the performance specifications.
Screw Tightening Torque Range
Insulation displacement connector fixing screw (M2.6 screw) 0.21 to 0.28 N • m

5. WIRING
5.1 Wiring Instructions
(1) Do not strip the insulation of the connectable wire before wiring.
(2) The number of connectable wire per terminal is 1.
(3) Wire the far side line B terminals first.
(4) To prevent the wires from pushing the adjacent modules, connect
them after pulling them toward you within the wire's tensile
strength range given in the performance specifications.
(5) During and after wiring, do not apply loads larger than the wire's
tensile strength given in the performance specifications to the
wires.
(6) When reusing the wire that has been connected to this connector
once, cut off its insulation displacement end face in advance.

5.3 Wiring Procedure
(1) Wire connection
1) Install the Q6TA32 to the I/O module with the insulation
displacement connector fixing screws, loosen the cover
fixing screws, and remove the covers.
2) Insert the wire along the guide inside the Q6TA32 without a
gap, push it in gently with your finger to temporarily hold it,
and push it far enough with the wiring tool.
When wiring Line A (right side), check the numeral of Line
B (left side) to confirm the terminal number to be wired.
