See “XG@ - Assembly Tooling and Accessories” datasheet from additional information about cable termination tooling.
■ External Polarization Options
The following optional accessories can be used to provide polarization to sockets and plugs that do not have molded polarizing guides and slots
built into their housings and shrouds.
Solutions for Shrouded Connectors
Solutions for Unshrouded Connectors
Use the XG4Z-0005 coding pin to fill a specific hole in one of the
XG4 or XG5 sockets. Then, use the XY2E-0002 cutting pin to remove
the corresponding terminal from an XG8 unshrouded plug.
XG4Z-0004 Polarizing Key
Typically, 10 contact versions of the XG4A, XG4E and XG4C are
available with or without polarizing guides.
(See XG5 and XG8 datasheets for details about those connectors.)
Install the XG4Z-0004 polarizing key on XG4A, XG4E and XG4C
plugs that do not have a polarizing slot, to prevent reverse connec-
tion with XG4M cable sockets that do not have a polarizing guide.
XG4Z-0005 Coding Pin
How to use
For all other versions, the molded polarity guides and slots can be
used by themselves to help prevent reverse insertion. However, use
the polarizing key with these versions as well for best results.

Correct Use
correct wiring by removing different terminals from side-by-side
connectors. For example, for connector set 1, remove terminal
1 and fill socket hole 1. Then, for connector set 2, remove
terminal 2 and fill socket hole 2. This prevents socket 1 from
mating with plug 2, ensuring correct wiring.
