To disconnect and connect Mylar flex cables
Use this procedure when you are instructed to disconnect or connect a Mylar flex cable.
Such cables and their connectors are fragile; mishandling may damage the cable or
connector.
To disconnect the cable
1
Pry up the retainer slightly at each end of the connector using a small flat-
blade screwdriver. Do not force the retainer; it should remain attached to the
body of the socket.
2
Gently pull the flex cable out of the connector.

1
Ensure that the cable retainer is up, then insert the ribbon cable into the socket,
making sure to observe polarity of the cable with respect to the connector.
2
Push the ends of the retainer down onto the connector body, using a small flat-
blade screwdriver. The retainer should be flush with the connector body when
you are finished.
