NOTES
● See Figure B-3. The tang in the chamber engages the
slot to lock the terminal in position.
●
On the pin side of the connector, tangs are positioned at
the bottom of each chamber, so the slot in the pin termi-
nal (on the side opposite the crimp tails) must face down-
ward.
●
On the socket side, tangs are at the top of each chamber,
so the socket terminal slot (on the same side as the
crimp tails) must face upward.
● Up and down can be determined by the position of the
release button (used to separate the pin and socket
halves). Consider the button to always be on top of the
connector.
2. Gently tug on wire end to verify that the terminal is
locked in place and will not back out of chamber.
3. Rotate the hinged secondary lock inward until tabs fully
engage latches on both sides of connector.
4. Insert the socket housing (plug) into the pin housing
(receptacle) until it snaps in place.
5. Install connector on retaining device, either attachment
or rosebud clip.
