iCON RECEIVER PART IDENTIFICATION
PART # 310 123 XXX
Figure A points out distinguishing features of the iCon receiver so that the top and
bottom can be identied. Features to look for are the alpha keying receptacle on
the top side and the numeric keying receptacle on the bottom. By holding the iCon
receiver, the top can be determined by holding it so the letters and numbers are
readable.
The front and rear of the iCon receiver are shown in Figure B. The front has a polarizing
feature which prevents the ITA and receiver from being engaged in the incorrect
orientation. The front of the iCon receiver can be identied as the side with the
latching feature.
The front side mates with the iCon ITA. Wires exit the iCon receiver from the rear side.

Figure A points out distinguishing features of the iCon ITA so that the top and bottom
can be identied. Features to look for are the alpha keying receptacle on the top
side and the numeric keying receptacle on the bottom. By holding the iCon ITA, the

ICON ITA CABLE CLAMP REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
PART # 410 123 XXX
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
CABLE CLAMP REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. After removing the handle and cover, loosen the 6-32 x
1.5” screws to allow the wire(s) or cable to slide freely in
the clamp.
2. Unscrew the 4-40 x .375” screws holding the clamp
to the ITA frame (Figure A). Afterwards, if necessary,
entirely remove the 1.5” screws to allow the wire(s) or
cable to be removed.
CABLE CLAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place wire(s) or cables into “U” shaped clamp. Install
strain relief bar and start 1.5” screws; alternate screws
when tightening.
2. Install .375” screws to mount clamp to ITA frame. Slowly
alternate tightening the 1.5” screws until the clamp has
cinched the wire(s) or cable tightly.
NOTE: The U-shaped cable clamp is adjustable to
accommodate the amount of wires in your cable bundle.
Figure A. The U-shape allows cables to be preterminated before
clamp installation.
The iCon ITA cable clamp is designed to allow the
test technician to easily recongure or add wired
modules to the system.

RECOMMENDED SLEEVING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prevent protective sleeving slippage for cable assemblies, VPC recommends lacing to secure the wire to sleeve
or wrapping with silicone tape. We have internal procedures to resolve these types of issues in order to provide optimal
outcomes for your system. Please contact us with any questions. Below are VPC best practices for securing protective
sleeving.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Blunt Sewing Needle
Wax Lacing Tape
Cable Sleeving
Silicone Tape (optional)
OPTIONAL CABLE SLEEVING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fold the end of the sleeving under.
2. Sew the sleeving to the wires using lacing tape
(Figure A); using a ‘gure 8’pattern around the wires is
recommended for a better hold.
3. Use silcone tape to increase cable diameter, if necessary,
for a secure clamp (Figure B & C).
4. When possible, place sleeving under the inside of the
clamp.
NOTE: The preferred method is to place sleeving inside clamp
regardless of tape use.

ICON RECEIVER MODULE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
PART # 310 123 XXX
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
NOTE: If the application requires, receiver modules can be
installed in the ITA and ITA modules in the receiver (must use
receiver Part # 310 123 103). If this is done, you must be sure
to switch the contacts as well (receiver contacts in a receiver
module and ITA contacts in an ITA module). You should also use
the keying kit to prevent attempted mating to a receiver or ITA
that has a standard module orientation.
RECEIVER MODULE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the module in the receiver until the upper and lower
module screws touch the mating holes in the frame. Install
modules such that Pin 1 is located at the top of the receiver
frame (Figure A).
2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the top screw 1 to 2
full revolutions, while pushing lightly against the face of the
module.
3. Maintain this pressure while tightening the bottom screw 1 to
2 full revolutions.
4. Repeat this sequence until the module is seated. Torque the
screw to 1.5 in-lbs [0.16 Nm].
RECEIVER MODULE REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To remove, loosen the top screw 1 to 2 full revolutions.
Loosen bottom screw 1 to 2 full revolutions.
2. Repeat this sequence until the module is separated from the
receiver.
NOTE: For optimum performance and system longevity,
distribute the contact load evenly throughout the module.
Figure A. The 2-56 module screws are designed with
a captive feature for loss prevention.
The iCon receiver is designed so the modules mount
from the rear. This allows the test technician to easily
mount wired cable assemblies without having to route
the connectors through the receiver frame.

ICON ITA MODULE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
PART # 410 123 XXX
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
NOTE: If the application requires, receiver modules can be installed in
the ITA and ITA modules in the receiver (must use receiver Part #
310 123 103). If this is done, you must be sure to switch the contacts as
well (receiver contacts in a receiver module and ITA contacts in an ITA
module). You should also use the keying kit to prevent attempted mat-
ing to a receiver or ITA that has a standard module orientation.
ITA MODULE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the cover. Refer to Section 4.
2. Place the module in the ITA until the upper and lower module
screws touch the mating holes in the frame. Install modules such
that Pin 1 is located at the top of the ITA frame (Figure A).
3. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the top screw 1 to 2 full
revolutions, while pushing lightly against the face of the module.
4. Maintain this pressure while tightening the bottom screw 1 to 2 full
revolutions.
5. Repeat this sequence until the module is seated. Torque the
screw to 1.5 in-lbs [0.16 Nm].
6. Reinstall the removable cover. It is important to
align the handle correctly (Figure B), or refer to
Section 4.
ITA MODULE REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To remove, loosen the top screw 1 to 2 full
revolutions. Loosen bottom screw 1 to 2 full
revolutions.
2. Repeat this sequence until the module is
separated from the ITA.
NOTE: For optimum performance and system
longevity, distribute the contact load evenly
throughout the module.
Figure A. Make sure position 1 on the ITA module
aligns with position 1 on the receiver module.
Figure B. If the engagement mechanism is extended beyond the alignment pins
the handle should be attached in the “OPEN” position. Open is indicated by
aligning the raised circles on the handle and cover and revealing the “OPEN”

ICON PCB LAYOUT AND MOUNTING OVERVIEW
Figure A.
The iCon receiver is designed as a rack and panel
mount connector that can have a PCB attached
on the rear side. While it is capable of being
mounted directly to a PCB without an intermediary
panel, VPC recommends mounting the iCon
receiver to a panel and then mounting the PCB to
the other side of the panel using stand-offs (Figure
A). This will reduce the amount of stress the PCB
endures when the iCon is mated and un-mated.
