Steps

1. Prepare the Material

   • Drill a 5 mm hole in the component where the connector will be installed.

   • Ensure the hole depth is at least 12.5 mm (31/64 in) and free from debris.

2. Insert the Shaft

   • Screw the 6 mm shaft of the Mini-KD connector directly into the pre-drilled 5 mm hole.

   • Tighten by hand until seated securely.

3. Align the Components

   • Position the parts to be joined, ensuring alignment of both boreholes for a flush fit.

4. Secure the Housing

   • Insert and tighten the diecast gear housing using a 4 mm hex bit or screwdriver.

   • Do not overtighten to avoid exceeding the maximum torque limit (10 Nm).

5. Final Check

   • Verify the components are securely joined and aligned with no visible gaps.

   • The connection should remain firm and stable under load.

Tips

• Suitable for horizontal or vertical mounting.

• Designed for thin materials from 13.5 mm (17/32 in) and up.

• Loosen the connection gradually and alternately if disassembly is required.
