D3/D4 RECEIVER PART IDENTIFICATION
PART # 310 131 101
Figure A. Mating side for 90 Series Modules. Only 90 Series
modules will be installed on this side of the receiver frame.
Figure B. Mating side for iCon Modules. Modules will be
installed on reverse side.
The D3/D4 receiver can be congured with three 90
Series modules or four iCon modules depending on
the application. This feature is unique to the D3/D4
and is not found elsewhere in the iDock Series.
PART IDENTIFICATION
1. Rotate the receiver until the grooved face of the
frame is visible (Figure A). Note the mounting
screw holes on the top, bottom, and sides of the
receiver. This is the module installation side. Both
the 90 Series modules and iCon modules will be
installed from this side. The grooved side is also the
mating face of the receiver frame when 90 Series
Modules are installed. Patchcords or cable sets
will exit the opposite side.
3. Rotate the receiver until the smooth face of the
frame is visible (Figure B). Note the mounting
screw hole exits on this side. This is the mating face
of the receiver when iCon modules are installed.
Patchcords or cable sets will exit the opposite
side.
4. The D3/D4 receiver is equipped with guide
bushings (Figure C). These bushings accept the
guide pins of the ITA frame. Note that the guide
bushings are offset to provide polarization of the
frames when mating.
5. In each corner, the receiver frame is equipped
with a stainless bushing. These bushings are
designed to move, or “oat,” with a radius of
0.020" [0.51 mm]. This movement corrects for any
error when the two frames are being engaged.
NOTE: More information on module installation is
provided in Section 4.
Figure C. The D3/D4 receiver bushings are slightly offset
to prevent mismatched engagement with ITA frame.

D3/D4 ITA PART IDENTIFICATION
PART # 410 131 101
Figure A. Mating side for 90 Series Modules and the iCon
Modules.
Figure B. Module installation side for the ITA. Both 90 Series
module and iCon Modules will be installed on this side.
PART IDENTIFICATION
1. Rotate the ITA until the smooth face of the frame
is visible (Figure A). The guide pins should be
visible from this view. This is the mating face of the
ITA frame for both 90 Series modules and iCon
modules.
2. Rotate the ITA until the grooved face of the frame
is visible. Note the mounting screw holes on
the top, bottom, and sides of the ITA. This is the
module installation face (Figure B). Both the 90
Series modules and the iCon modules will be
installed on this side. Note that this is different than
the receiver instructions.

RECEIVER • PART # 310 131 101
ITA • PART # 410 131 101
Figure A. The ITA and Receiver Disengaged
Figure B. The ITA and Receiver Fully Engaged
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Align the ITA’s guide pins with the receiver’s guide
bushings.
2. Push the ITA onto the receiver.
NOTE: When conguring the engagement settings
for your test interface, be sure to leave a small
gap between the ITA and receiver frame for
the full-mated position. The gap will prevent
continual contact of the frames upon mating. VPC
recommends a maximum gap distance of 0.025”
[.635 mm].
NOTE: The guide bushings are offset to provide
polarization of the frames to prevent engagement
mismatch.
NOTE: For optimum performance and system longevity,
VPC recommends distributing the load evenly in all
interfaces.
NOTE: To determine the maximum mating force for your
conguration, VPC recommends contacting a VPC
Field Application Engineer. To contact your Field
Application Engineer, please visit us at:

D3/D4 RECEIVER MOUNTING
PART # 310 131 101
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the mounting surface using the
dimensions provided in Figure A.
2. Attach the D3/D4 receiver to the panel with the
provided M3 Phillips head screws.
3. Torque the screws to 2 in-lbs [0.23 Nm].
4. The D3/D4 receiver frame is designed to be
used in a modular conguration. As long as
the minimum distances between frames are
observed, multiple receiver frames can be
engaged simultaneously as a single test interface.
These frames can be placed adjacent to one
another in horizontal or vertical congurations.

TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Observe the groove indentations on each side of the
module as seen in Figure A. This grooved indentation is
where the strain relief and the module will interlock.
2. Separately, slide each half of the strain relief plate into the
grooved indentations. Using a Phillips head screwdriver,
fasten the provided 4-40 screws into place as seen in Figure
B to assemble the strain relief plate.
3. Torque screws to 2 in-lbs [0.23 Nm].
4. The module can now be mounted to the receiver as one
assembly.

RECEIVER STRAIN RELIEF PLATE (90 SERIES) ●PART # 510 109 349
Strain relief plates protect your investment. The potential for
damage to occur around the area of wire termination is real.
Forces are exerted on the wire terminations every time the
cables are plugged, unplugged, or put under any tension or
compression.
Strain relief plates are designed to absorb the majority of the
forces put on the cables and ensure that the terminations stay
intact. Each plate has numerous holes positioned to allow a
variety of wire spacing and management options. The wires are
attached to the holes by wire ties, which tightly secures the wires
without causing damage. The result is accurate functioning of
your equipment without the worry of possible disconnections.
THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE ARE GIVEN FOR
DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE
UNIQUE TO THE PART NUMBERS LISTED IN THE
INSTRUCTIONS.
BE SURE TO REVIEW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
PRODUCT DRAWING FOR YOUR STRAIN RELIEF
PLATE, AS THE DESIGN MAY BE DIFFERENT
DEPENDING ON THE I/O TYPE OF YOUR MODULE.

Figure A. Standard 160 position receiver module
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, fasten the strain relief to
the back (wiring) side of the D3/D4 receiver with the two
2-56 provided (Figure A).
2. Torque screws to 2 in-lbs [0.23 Nm].
NOTE: Two 2-56 nuts are included with the strain relief plate;
however, they are not required for this application. The
screws will enter the tapped mounting screw holes instead.
NOTE: Four wire ties are included with the strain relief for
restraining wires.
NOTE: If using 8AWG or 10AWG wire, the iCon Strain Relief Kit, Part #
310 113 582, will be required. Install patchcords into module
before attaching strain relief.
NOTE: All strain relief plates for iCon modules will fasten directly to the
receiver instead of the module.
