Due to a limited number of connect cycles, contact elements to connect assemblies are
subject to mechanical wear. The ICOM A concept enables replacement of wear parts, if
required, with minimum overhead in order to preserve full functions of the overall device
over a sustained period. Fig. 3 shows all the individual parts in an exploded view; these are
then assembled to form the complete device.
