2.1.4 AMP.040 Multi-lock connector (Mark )
Insertion of Contact
1. Confirm the proper orientation and insert the
contact into the retainer until a click sound is
noted. Confirm that the contact is inserted fully
into the retainer. Then, lightly pull the wire to
confirm that it will not come off.
2. Orientation of the contact
Orient the dimple provided on the contact so that
it faces the retainer side of the housing.
Securing the retainer (From pre-assembled position to
the finally assembled position)
1. Note that the retainers provided on the connector
are pre-assembled. Thus, they need to be finally
assembled as shown in the Fig. below after
inserting the contacts into them. The retainers can
not be pushed in if any one of the contacts is not
completely inserted. Press both ends of the
retainer to assemble it.
Removing the retainer (From the finally assembled
position to the pre-assembled position)
1. To remove the contacts from the housing the
retainer must be at pre-assembled position. The
contact can not be removed from the retainer if it
is finally assembled position. Insert the end of
Extraction Tool (AMP part No.715131-1) into the
retainer extraction hole and pull up the retainer.
Set the retainer to the pre-assembled position by
aligning the alignment marks if it is dislocated
from the pre-assembled position.
How to extract the contacts
1. Set the retainer to the pre-assembled position.
The contacts can not be removed with the retainer
set to the finally assembled position.
Be sure to use the Extraction Tool (AMP part
No.715131-1) to remove the contact.
Insert the tool horizontally into the housing. Never
allow the tool to face downward to interfere with
the contact as shown in the improper example
below.
