HQ-004/2 hybrid inserts combine four power contacts, two signal contacts and protective earth in the HC enclosure platform. Male MC and female FC versions use crimp connections for power and signal conductors. Select contacts and wires separately for the two circuit types.

Contact layout and outline drawings
The individual male and female drawings identify power positions 1-4, signal positions 11 and 12, and the central PE contact. Use the drawing for the selected gender when checking the mating face and wiring orientation. Crimping and contact-removal tools are required for the removable power and signal contacts.
